This case is about an information technology start-up that has grown into a global tech company in 10 years with revenue growth of 35.4% from 2008 to 2011. However, during that same period, four major competitors were acquired by integrated search providers like Microsoft and Oracle. These firms integrate enterprise search into broader information services like data mining, analytic, and predictive services. This case enables students to role-play as a consulting team hired by Search Engine, Inc.’s Board to assess the company’s strengths and weaknesses relative to its changing competitive environment and to evaluate whether industry consolidation should be viewed as a threat to its long-term viability or as an opportunity for further growth. If the team recommends selling the company, it needs to identify a potential buyer who would benefit the most from synergistic effects of acquiring their technology, talents, and clients. If the team recommends a growth strategy, it has to specify whether the company should grow within the specialized search market or compete in the integrated search market and whether to finance such growth with private equity or with an IPO. Whether a growth or exit strategy is recommended, the team needs to come up with a fair market valuation.

This article describes how in addition to general purposes search engines, specialized search engines have appeared and have gained their part of the market. An enterprise search engine enables the search inside the enterprise information, mainly web pages but also other kinds of documents; the search is performed by people inside the enterprise or by customers. This article proposes an enterprise search engine called AMBIT1-SE that relies on two enhancements: first, it is user-aware in the sense that it takes into consideration the profile of the users that perform the query; second, it exploits semantic techniques to consider not only exact matches but also synonyms and related terms. It performs two main activities: (1) information processing to analyse the documents and build the user profile and (2) search and retrieval to search for information that matches user's query and profile. An experimental evaluation of the proposed approach is performed on different real websites, showing its benefits over other well-established approaches.

Elastic search is a way to organize the data and make it easily accessible. It is a server based search on Lucene. It is a highly scalable, distributed and full-text search engine. Elastic search is developed in Java. It is published as open source under the terms of the Apache License. Elastic search is the most popular enterprise search engine. Elastic search includes all advances in speed, security, scalability, and hardware efficiency. Elastic search is a tool for querying written words. It can perform some other smart tasks, but its principal is returning text similar to a given query and statistical analyses of a quantity of text. Elasticsearch is a standalone database server, which is written in Java and using HTTP/JSON protocol,it’s takes data and optimized the data according to language based searches and stores it in a sophisticated format. Elastic search is very convenient, supporting clustering and leader selection out of the box. Whether it’s searching a database of trade products by description, finding similar text in a body of crawled web pages. In this manuscript elastic search capability of copied data identification and its removing techniques performance are analyzed

Research on personal home pages is still rare. Many studies to date are exploratory, and the problem of drawing a sample that reflects the variety of existing home pages has not yet been solved. The present paper discusses sampling strategies and suggests a strategy based on the results retrieved by a search engine. This approach is used to draw a sample of 229 personal home pages that portray private identities. Findings on age and sex of the owners and elements characterizing the sites are reported.
