REVIEW: Altavista Goes Corporate

Web pages, word processing documents, spreadsheets, PDF files,
databases--a modern enterprise has information up the wazoo. That's
good news, because if you're looking for information, chances are
that it's on one of your servers. The bad news is that it's really
hard to find the documents that contain it.

That's exactly the problem Internet search engines have been designed
to address: They index accessible data files residing on multiple
public Web servers, storing the results in a database. Users can query
that database against full-text keywords to find just the information
they're looking for. More bad news: Although that's wonderful for
using the public Internet, those big commercial search engines won't
help you locate private enterprise data.

AltaVista Co.'s AltaVista Search Engine 3.0 (AVSE) is a version of the
public search-engine software designed to be installed within an
organization. AVSE indexes not only data on intranet and even Internet
Web pages, but also data files and databases on file servers. We
evaluated AVSE on our LAN and were impressed with the depth of both
its indexing and query functions. It's hard to imagine a company that
wouldn't benefit from setting up its own in-house AltaVista server.
