In case you missed this Larry Ellison announced Oracle Secure Enterprise Search at OpenWorld Tokyo last night.

There are technical/business white papers, a data sheet and a demo available at the indicated web site, but the most important things to know are:

• Search accuracy and user experience is comparable to that of Google. (I can personally attest to this as we are in the midst of UAT for future deployment on OTN/Oracle.com. SES rocks.)
• Content can be secured at a source or even document level. Thus, if you don't have privs to view a certain document, or any documents from a certain source, you will not see results for those items.
• This is a standalone product.

Yesterday we externalized a Beta version of the brand-new "Oracle Application Server Developer's Guide for Microsoft Office Interoperability", which includes sample code demos. Here's the official description:

This guide describes how to enable interoperability between the Microsoft Office suite of products and the Oracle Application Server set of components. This includes a description of the Microsoft Office-centric architecture, the Microsoft Office Extensibility technologies, the Oracle Application Server components that can interoperate, and many step-by-step procedures that describe how to build Microsoft Office interoperability solutions.

This guide will almost certainly be invaluable for Oracle shops running Office apps as their front ends (and how many tens of thousands are there of them?).
