WORKSHOP: search 101
Search in the enterprise is no longer simply about finding stuff, and it is no longer just about the keyword query that delivers the ten blue lines of links to search results. Search has become a proactive tool underpinning the way that relevant content is piped to us at the point of need, it powers the way that we discover new content that is relevant to our work, and it is deployed to organise content for multiple purposes. Search has become intimately connected with taxonomies and ontologies, and with autotagging. In this workshop Maish Nichani will take participants through the basics of search, how to go about designing powerful search experiences, how to identify key search personas, and he will describe some of its most useful applications.
