TradeKosmos Launches Solr Search Appliance for Community Service Providers*
TradeKosmos Search Appliance -- the universal search for Community Provider Services -- is member of a portfolio of solution offerings from the TradeKosmos AG for powerful community portal technology, boundless on-demand functionality and a modern Platform-as-a-Service (SaaS) concept. Thereby Community Service Providers like Associations, Organisations, Chambers of Commerce, Exhibition Organizers, etc. can easily create, provide and control their own online services.
"Thousands of associations, organizations, chambers and business community providers have a web presence but offer visitors no appropriate ability to explore and search the content and community of their stakeholders and members," said Oliver Hoefele, Executive Manager, TradeKosmos AG. "While many of these providers invest in search advertising and search engine optimization to help visitors find their business, their stakeholders and community members are left on their own to deal with the possibilities and requirements that come along with the strong growing importance of online network services. As TradeKosmos continues to make
Business Relationship Management technology more accessible to providers of all sizes -- first with our hosted Premium Community Portals and now with Search Appliance services -- we are reducing the hurdles of cost, complexity and time so that community providers can help stakeholders and members to be represented at the best and to enable visitors to find the right information faster."
The new service allows community providers to quickly implement enterprise search functionality that is familiar and useful to their visitors. At the same time, community providers can customize TradeKosmos Search Appliance to account for the unique nature of their stakeholders and their content.
In addition to the higher search capacity up to 30 million items, the new TradeKosmos Search Appliance also offers new advanced search functions and administrative support, such as:
Powerful full-text, Semantic Search and Parametric Search
Dynamic search results clustering, Date and Top results biasing (influence search results based on specific conditions)
Semantic hit highlighting
User-friendly spelling options and advanced synonym options
Rich processing of items, documents (e.g., Word, PDF, HTML) and web-based sources (e.g. HTTP/S, XML API)
Database integration via DataImportHandler
Reporting features that give insight into visitor behaviors
Opt-in capability to include ads
Customize, track, and optimize performance
Many powerful query enhancements, including ranges over arbitrary functions, and nested queries of different syntaxes
Many other open source plugins including Terms for auto-suggest, Statistics, TermVectors, Deduplication
Today's TradeKosmos Search Appliance represents another step to make TradeKosmos search even more fast, flexible and relevant - and TradeKosmos services of even greater utility to the individual needs of customers and partners.
