Secure Enterprise Search Uncovered
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.
on OTN.

You and everybody everybody else! It would be nice to be able to locate an article or a forum thread with an OTN search engine instead of using Google's site specific search feature.
By the way, I hope there are plans to port Metalink to this better search engine soon.
As for status vis-a-vis Ultrasearch, more info on that should be available at GA.
Ultra Search will continue to be available for now as an unsecure, basic search; however, it will not be the focus for feature enhancements. Oracle's flagship enterprise search product is SES, with the advantages of comprehensive security, high relevance/search-quality, and out-of-the-box easy operation over Ultra Search.
