As content volume grows, search will become the heart of most web sites and intranets. Yet few vendors admit they’re selling a search engine; they all have “portal solutions.” Meanwhile, the true challenge involves getting the IT people, who currently own the search engines within most corporations, to share their toys with people who understand how and why to connect users and content. The current difficulties in this category are not due to technology. It’s a people problem! However, there are some interesting developments in the technology area. Multi-algorithmic solutions like Google are gaining popularity, forcing the other vendors to play catch-up.
