Search & Discovery

CentricMinds Enterprise leverages open source components such as Lucene. The Apache Lucene search is a high-performance, fully-featured text search engine that has been integrated with the CMS to provide site indexing and public site searching, as well as searching of the content repositories by authors.

Searching within content repositories provides authors with the ability to filter their searches based on archiving, file type, author and date range.

Authors can also employ metadata filtering to build search queries based on metadata.

Search and discovery includes:

• Search for a particular phrase ‘The latest report on green apples’
• Wildcard searching
• Administration for the removal of stopwords and noise words
• Highlight found search terms within documents
• HTML rendering of documents (MS Office, PDF, etc.)
• Category browsing allowing users to browse files or pages by categories
• Search on metadata fields, author, date created etc.
• Relevance Ranking Scoring (25%, 18%, 7%, etc.)
• A number of different types of searches can be configured in the system, each providing a different set of functionality and search scope
• Option to restrict the viewing access of all content items and pages to authenticated users of the site. This can be done at a Role level down to an individual Author level. Security access also restricts viewing of content within a sitemap and/or through searching

Taxonomy Browser:

• The Taxonomy Browser allows users to browse related content. It works using the same principles of a thesauri,
  however it allows users of the site to browse related content hierarchies in a graphical fashion
• The taxonomy browser allows users to browse sub-classes of a particular category or topic
• The following image depicts this process:
  - A user has performed a search for the term 'marketing'
  - The search has returned a result
  - The user clicks on the category hyperlink (Marketing) in the search result to view related content with this topic
  - They are presented with the following screen
  - The 'Marketing' category presents a list of hyperlinks to files/pages which are related to this topic
  - However, it is also displaying other subcategories of 'Marketing' that are also related e.g. Collateral, Brands, Alliances etc.
