Funnelback Demo Video
May 17, 2012
The Cloud Harvester is hosting a new demo video for Funnelback‘s flagship product. The video is short but sweet—in less than a minute and a half, it clearly conveys how to create a new faceted navigation filter in Funnelback Enterprise Search.
Funnelback was grew from technology developed by CSIRO, Australia’s premier scientific research agency. The company was established in 2005, and was bought by UK content management outfit Squiz in 2009. They offer Enterprise and Website Search, both of which include customizable features. Both local and SaaS deployment options are available.
Regarding their Enterprise Search product, Funnelback’s Web site promises a comprehensive product:
“Funnelback Enterprise makes information available via a single web interface in a timely, consistent and convenient manner, leading to faster, more informed decision-making. Funnelback Enterprise can search across a myriad of corporate content repositories including websites, intranets, shared drives, document management systems, email systems, SharePoint and databases.”
Curious about the name? Their About page shares this:
“The name Funnelback is a play on the name of two spiders; the funnel-web and the redback, both native to Australia. The name was also chosen because of Funnelback’s ability to rapidly ‘funnel’ relevant information ‘back’ to the user.” [links added]
Quirky, clever, and memorable. And quintessentially Austrailian, just like Funnelback.
