Verity Ultraseek delivers superior relevance and a rich end-user experience that quickly locates information across your enterprise and beyond. With little or no customization, one- and two-word queries return extremely relevant results, while selectable options let you enhance result list presentation and functionality to meet specific end-user needs.

Superior Relevance
End-users quickly find the right information with one- and two-word queries thanks to Verity Ultraseek's high out-of-the-box relevance. Search options include keyword, phrase, wildcard, field, range, implied Boolean and advanced operators. Relevance is determined through an optimized combination of enhanced linguistics techniques, stemming, link analysis, and weighting based on term location, frequency, and rarity. Thesauri and custom dictionaries can also be integrated to support specific industries and business objectives.

Intelligent Indexing
Enterprise information is typically found in hundreds of document formats that are spread across Web servers, .le systems, secure systems, and other repositories. They may be written in one language or many, depending on the content, the company and the country. Verity Ultraseek's intelligent, adaptive spider indexes all of this content into a common Ultraseek Index that makes it searchable with a single query. Ultraseek can even spider Javascript, allowing it to find and index dynamically generated Web pages. Structured and unstructured information sources can also be brought together in the index through Ultraseek's optional lightweight database connectivity.

Relevance Tuning and Editorial Control
Verity Ultraseek's search results can be .ne-tuned to match information structure and end-user needs with relevance tuning options that deliver comprehensive control over the relative weighting of metadata fields.

In addition, Ultraseek's exclusive Quick Links feature provides editorial control over search results, allowing keywords to be manually associated with specific URLs that are returned above normal search results. For example, a query for "printer" on an e-commerce site could return a Quick Link as the first result, directing users to the "Buy This Printer" page.

Contextual Summaries
End-users can quickly determine the context of query terms in Verity Ultraseek results lists by scanning document descriptions created by intelligently extracting relevant passages in matching documents. This both accelerates the information discovery process and reduces load on your network by allowing users to identify the most relevant documents without actually having to open and read them.

Spelling Suggest
Many unsuccessful searches are the result of incorrectly spelled query terms. Verity Ultraseek automatically suggests alternative spellings for misspelled queries, using a dictionary dynamically built from the index. This can dramatically increase user satisfaction in information environments with complex terminology, and decrease abandoned shopping carts on ecommerce sites by ensuring customers find products even if they aren't sure of their spelling.

"No-hits" Forwarding
Getting no results to a query can be just as bad as getting too many. End-users can broaden searches that don't return any results by clicking less restrictive queries that are automatically presented by Verity Ultraseek.

Results Grouping by Site
Grouping results by website or .le folder location helps users quickly sort through results list to locate the most relevant information for the task at hand. It can also save time in the future by showing end-users which sites or folders are the most useful sources of information.

Automatic Title Replacement
Most documents created in the day-to-day business of a company either have no title listed in their properties or metadata, inherit titles from previous documents or have titles that are intelligible to most users. Verity Ultraseek can intelligently replace incorrect or missing document titles with meaningful, automatically generated titles to help users find the right document faster

International Language Support
Business today is becoming increasingly international, requiring the ability to access information in various languages. Verity Ultraseek supports complete grammatical and lexical analysis of multiple languages, including localized interfaces and support for Unicode character sets. Available language modules include:

  • Arabic
  • Chinese (Traditional & Simplified)
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • English
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
