The word on the street is that the next version of IBM’s OmniFind Enterprise Edition (OEE) will use Lucene as it’s core. It will be interesting to see what new features this will bring to the OmniFind universe. I have all sorts of questions about what the next version can do.
- How will the use of Lucene affect performance?
- Will the new version include facets (finally)?
- How will categorization be handled?
- How will UIMA be incorporated with the new OEE?
- How will it handle crawl-time and query-time security needs?
- How will it handle plugins?
- Will the document size restriction be increased?
- Will it handle wild-card searching in a way that won’t increase the size of the index files X times over?
- What kind of user and system analytics will be available?
- Will you be able to do search word boosting?
- Will you be able to relevance tuning?
Leave a comment and let me know what questions you have about the next version!
