Concept Searching
November 30, 2008
Concept Searching Inc. offers a suite of horizontal search and classification products with the goal of delivering critical precision and recall. They’re moving beyond keyword identification and traditional taxonomy approaches. As the company’s tagline “Retrieval Just Got Smarter” suggests, the products use compound term processing to manage unstructured content. The concept extraction improves access to unstructured information so companies can better leverage data. What’s useful is that their cross-platform products, a search program, a classifier, a taxonomy manager, and SQL, are fully integrated with Microsoft SharePoint. There’s no need for a separate index, and the suite respects preset SharePoint security. Features can be integrated or delivered in pieces, and system access is administered using standard SharePoint administrative tools. Some of these functions were among the most popular in the SurfRay Ontolica product which is now long in the tooth. Perhaps Concept Searching will benefit from what seems to be a growing demand for SharePoint tools.
