Updated Search Tool
08 November 2011 - edel.mckee
As always, we are adding new features and improvements to Origin so that it continues to evolve and offer greater value to the ORIGIN client base. We have recently updated the ORIGIN search tool and again this has been driven by customer feedback and requirements. Our philosophy is always to ensure that all customers should benefit from the suggestions and improvements put forward and adopted by one.
Origin Enterprise has always had a search tool however the previous tool limited search results to the meta-data associated with the search term. The search tool has now been transformed and the new search tool provides results from various sources such as data sets, reports and all content within the website.
The search tool now allows customers to type in a word or phrase and the sophisticated tool searches through all data sets, profiles, resources and baskets to give the customer a wealth of information. The search tool has the ability to read reports, pdf files, excel documents and word documents to ensure that all available information on the site is returned in the search findings. This of course can mean a la
rge search results list but the updated tool also allows you to filter findings based on date ranges, geographies or further search phrases to offer enhanced management and flexible presentation of search results.
One of the most important aspects of the new search tool is the ability for the creator of the data content to tag data keywords so they can select which search results their data will show up in, resulting in users getting the most relevant findings. The findings have a ranking system based on meta-tags, data, content and tags which places the most relevant findings first.
We have implemented the new search tool successfully in Surreyi and we hope that it becomes a valued core feature of our Origin Enterprise solution.
