A Potentially Useful List of Enterprise Search Engine Servers
July 20, 2017
We found a remarkable list at Predictive Analytics Today—“Top 23 Enterprise Search Engine Servers.” The write-up introduces its roster of resources:
Enterprise Search is the search information within an enterprise, searching of content from multiple enterprise-type sources, such as databases and intranets. These search systems index data and documents from a variety of sources including file systems, intranets, document management systems, e-mail, and databases. Enterprise search systems also integrate structured and unstructured data in their collections and also use access controls to enforce a security policy on their users.
Entries are logically presented under two categories, proprietary solutions and open source software. From Algolia to Xapian, the article summarizes pros and cons of each. See the post for details.
However, we have a few notes to add about some particular platforms. For example, the Google Search Appliance has been discontinued, though Constellio is still going… in Canada. SearchBlox is now Elasticsearch, and SRCH2 was originally designed for mobile searches. Also, isn’t Sphinx Search specifically for SQL data? Hmm. We suggest this list could make a good springboard, but server shoppers should take its specifics with a grain of salt, and be sure to do your own follow-up research.
