After attending the Enterprise Search Summit in New York City on May 13 and 14, 2014 (#ESDNY), one theme became very evident: enterprise searches should no longer be considered simply a means to enable users to find documents, (more…)

I am currently on a plane, coming back from three wonderful days of training on the Google Search Appliance 7.0 at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.  I must admit that I was as impressed by the environment of the Googleplex as I was by the GSA itself.

On the complex, you will find numerous kitchens and restaurants, a full size T-Rex skeleton, ping pong tables, spas, pools, a beach volley ball set, a bowling alley, GBikes, and more. At first, it looks more like a family vacation destination than an office complex.  But don’t be fooled by the distractions, real work is going on within those walls. (more…)

Norconex at CIBC Run for the cureFor a third consecutive year, Norconex will participate in CIBC Run for the Cure event to help out the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  The run will take place at Tunney’s Pasture in Ottawa, on October 6th 2013.  Help us reach our objective by making a donation.

 

 

As always, you are also welcome to join our Team and run with us!

 

Run for the CureNorconex will be back at this years CIBC Run for the Cure event, on September 30, in Ottawa.  The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness programs. It was founded by a small group of volunteers who wanted to raise awareness and funds for the breast cancer cause. Last year, Canadians united to raise over $30 million in the 2011 Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure.  Please help make this year another success and come run with us or make a donation here.

 

No drastic changes to the industry were observed at this year’s Enterprise Search Summit (#ESS12) in New York.  Despite the fact that there wasn’t anything ground breaking there are still some industry trends that continue to prevail.

Open Source Search

Open source search technology continues to evolve and must be considered as a legitimate option for many organizations.  The open source search community is now standardizing and continuing to develop more sound solutions.  In addition, there are more third party open source experts that can assist with ongoing support and maintenance of your open source search applications (Norconex, being one of them).  The open source search player’s presence was felt this year.

Norconex is celebrating its fifth anniversary. We are taking this opportunity to thank you for your contribution in making us a successful company. Many thanks go to Norconex customers, partners and other enterprise search enthusiasts. Your continuing support keep us going strong. (more…)

Enterprise Search EuropeEnterprise Search Europe 2011 (#eseu) has come and gone.  So what was new and exciting in this first edition in terms of technology?  Not much.   As stated by many speakers during the conference, Enterprise Search technology is pretty mature now.  It has been around for multiple decades and most of the major break throughs have been made.  There is always room for some innovation, but the event did not un-cover any ground-breaking research or incredible search improvements.

Well, another GTEC has finished. We definitely had a great time attending this years government technology conference, and thoroughly enjoyed camping out in a booth there for a few days. We met a lot of really interesting people, from just about every possible business spectrum. All Canadian government departments seemed to be in attendance, and the people we met definitely made these departments shine. (more…)
