We are very excited, the VMware marketplace is fast becoming for enterprise application what "app store" is for the iPhone.

The VMware marketplace is collection of more than a 1500 cloud ready virtual applications. A virtual appliance is a virtual machine image designed to run on a virtualization platform. Normal it contains a striped down Linux operating system and application software fully configured, ready to run, without the need for any local installation or configuration. This makes it easy to deploy new applications in the cloud. The performance loss is only ~3-10% compared to installing it on a dedicated server.

We currently rank as nr. 1 on the search query enterprise search .

]]> Uncategorized, 2011-02-14T11:38:48+00:00 Runar Buvik Integrated with 24sevenoffice, 30 000+  new users using our technology http://www.searchdaimon.com/blog/integrated_with_24sevenoffice_30_000_new_users_using_our_technology/ http://www.searchdaimon.com/blog/integrated_with_24sevenoffice_30_000_new_users_using_our_technology/#When:13:31:17Z 24sevenoffice have started using Searchdaimon ES to provide search in their webbased application. All users now have access to search their files, email, email attachments, crm notes and project documentation.

Searching is seamlessly integrated with the 24sevenoffice design. User queries are sent to an ES server which returns XML. 24sevenoffice stores their data in MSSQL databases and SANs accessible by SMB. Using the ES crawler extensions, they created a Perl crawler that connects to the appropriate databases and SANs to download new data. The ES also integrates with their custom made permission system, only providing search results with resources a user is authorized to see.

Usage example

In the background you can see the 24sevenoffice ajax user interface. I have searched for "runar buvik".

  1. Query box where users ask queries.
  2. A Word file in the search results. With filename, filetype icon and an abstract of the document.
  3. A filter where users can select to filter out results which isn't from a specific filetype, data range and/or module.

]]> Uncategorized, 2010-09-23T13:16:05+00:00 Runar Buvik New attributes/meta-information function http://www.searchdaimon.com/blog/new_attributes_meta_information_function/ http://www.searchdaimon.com/blog/new_attributes_meta_information_function/#When:11:48:50Z Documents, crm-systems and e-mail servers may be a valuable source for meta-data, such as author, source, project etc. This meta-information can be saved with each document and used for filtering. We have had support for meta-information in the core search kernel for some time, and you have probably used it to filter on dates and file types.

In v2.1 meta-information has been extensively expanded, and almost every document now has some kind of metadata. The first thing you'll notice is the more advanced filtering menu on the left of the search interface. The default menu will show document types subdivided into file formats, information type for particular useful meta-data, and date of creation.

On the search results page we now display who emails are to and from. You may click on the email address to filter on it. Clicking on the magnifying glass lists all emails from this email address.

On some documents, selected meta-information will be shown in the snippet, too.

It is also possible to search for specific meta-information. For instance, the query 'attribute:"author"' will return all documents with an author set, and the query 'book attribute:"author=John Doe"' will return all documents of the specified author containing the word 'book'.
