Enterprise Search Trends to Look Forward in 2019
“Data is Eating the World”
These were the words famously used by Dries Buytaert, the creator of the open-source platform Drupal, back in 2015, to denote how data was all set to be the biggest factor influencing global economy. While many believe that he made the statement too early, they agree that what he said then has become the truth we’re living today. After all, we are living in an era where everything is about data and how successful businesses are today depends on how efficiently and effectively they are able to tap the potential of the enormous volumes of data at their disposal. However, in order to unleash the potential of data, businesses need just one thing and that is search.
It’s all about an Intelligent Search Experience…
Yes, enterprise search today is all about intelligent search experience, wherein the search engine is expected to understand the user intent and provide the most relevant results accordingly. 3RDi Search, and enterprise search tool developed by The Digital Group, uses semantic search, NLP and artificial intelligence technology to decipher not just the context of the query but also what the users are probably looking for when they type a set of words in the search box. Today, it is all about the search engine doing all the “work” without the user having to provide too much information.

Yes, search today is expected to work effectively not just with words and text but also with different forms of multimedia content, including images and presentations. Gone are the days when search was all about plain text alone. With the introduction of the concept of semantic search, an enterprise search engine like 3RDi search can effectively analyze unstructured data to unravel hidden insights within all forms of data, including multimedia – something that is not possible with the traditional keyword based search.
A Search Engine that Listens to Users…

Yes, today search has moved beyond the search box… powered by NLP and AI, search engines today have made it possible for users to speak out their queries and still expect results with the same level of accuracy and relevancy. So, instead of typing something like ‘Places to visit in Alaska’, users can just speak out the words.
Voice search has achieved close to 95% accuracy and this is only going to get better with time. Not just search engines, this technology also forms the basis of virtual assistants like the Amazon Echo & Google Home.
Recognizing the Potential of Search Data…

Search data or search logs have hidden insights that, if recovered, can help businesses make informed decisions and build strategies for business growth. While the unstructured search logs cannot be analyzed using the traditional keyword based approach, new age enterprise search tools like 3RDi Search use semantic search technology to analyze this data effectively.
Search tools that cater to a Niche Domain…

The last trend we shall be looking into today is about how the advanced search requirements call for niche-specific search tools that are power-packed with features to cater to the needs of a specific domain. A good example is ResearchNet – a tool designed for biomedical researchers – that has built-in vocabulary of the said domain, and provides access to thousands of journals and other forms of biomedical literature.
