Successful Enterprise Search Management is the first book to provide comprehensive guidance on all aspects of selecting, implementing and managing enterprise search applications. The authors, Stephen Arnold and Martin White, each have over two decades of experience in computer-based information retrieval and in this book share both their practical experience gained through client assignments around the world and their deep understanding of the technology and business of enterprise search.
