Key Features of Funnelback Enterprise Search

• Access multiple repositories enterprise-wide with a single query - Funnelback creates separate indexes for each repository crawled but allows users to choose which repositories they wish to search over. All popular file types can be indexed and Funnelback can also integrate with third party file adapters to reach file formats that are not widely used.
• Security Controls – Access to sensitive information in repositories and business applications can be restricted to authorised users. Funnelback also offers collection level security and can be integrated with legacy document level access control systems.
• Index Freshness - Mission critical information can be kept available and up-to-date for searching. Crawls can also be set to update only the parts of the index which have changed since the last crawl - creating a balance between freshness and infrastructure load.
• Scalability - The search service can handle large amounts of information and high query loads. Funnelback can scale up to many millions of documents and runs on a variety of platforms allowing you to leverage off of your existing systems.
• Complete Search Feature Set - Funnelback Enterprise Search also includes all of Funnelback’s search features, such as Contextual Navigation, Faceted Navigation and Funnelback’s Pattern Analyser.
