The Facts About Endeca Guided Search

March 13, 2014

The article (and videos) titled Oracle Endeca Guided Search: Superior Search System For Your Website on the Four Cornerstone Blog will most likely convince any doubters that Endeca is right for your search needs. Endeca’s “guided navigation context” allows users refine their search. Search results are narrowed by categories, and organized within those categories (such as price range, ratings etc.) This prevents users from getting too many results or too few. Other perks included in the article,

“You can also use Oracle Endeca Guided Search with Oracle Endeca Experience Manager. This way, you can get control over the littlest details that are related to customer experience. This also allows you to get better content targeting and search personalization when using dynamic pages. Lastly, you can use Oracle Endeca for Mobile and Oracle Endeca for Social so that your customers have the same search experience no matter where they are.”

If this does not convince you, watch the Endeca Extensions for E-Business Suite “The moving parts” which showcases and the “simplicity of the integration” and Leveraging Your Existing OBI Investment with OEID v3.1, which explains how “IT organizations can quickly tap into their existing OBI repositories to jump start the provisioning of their own Endeca discovery applications.” Once you have read the article and seen the above Youtube videos you will most likely lose interest in open source options.

Stephan,

Nice article. Of course I completely agree, but I am biased. I have an interesting presentation RE: Experience Management to show you when you get a chance. Send me your email when you get a chance.

Arnold,

But, Oracle Commerce Guided Search does not seem to include the mobile and social in their suite of products. Any reason why Oracle is not keep these modules updated with their latest releases ?

Thanks
Aruna V.
