Best Results

Our goal is finding the exact solution to meet your business challenge. In simple terms: Your company’s business challenge is not solved until you say it is. This means our partnership doesn’t end at the conclusion of the project. We want you to be completely satisfied on the day we complete the implementation phase, as well as throughout the lifetime of the solution.

We achieve best results through a careful integration and tuning of search technologies across your information systems. Our approach ensures the precision and recall of what you are searching for. Search Technologies delivers a complete solution you can rely on – and grow with.

Precision

Precision is one of several interrelated measures of search effectiveness. Precision defines the ability to filter out what you don't want from your search of one or more databases. Precision can be difficult to measure in absolute terms since people have subjective values for the results they get. Our experience in tuning search precision comes from a broad range of search implementations. Precision requires assessment of your organizations use of your data and a search design that produces results tailored to you.

Precision varies from organization to organization. Precision for a researcher at a university library likely will differ from an enterprise customer seeking product and account information. Precision is an important result of your search implementation that starts with our assessment process and is developed through the implementation process we tailor to your needs and requirements.

Precision doesn't just happen. It must be a key element in the entire process of a well executed search solution.

Recall

Recall is a measurement of search that works together with precision. Recall measures how well a search finds every instance of what you are searching for. High recall means most of the information that meets your query is presented in the search results, and few documents that meet you search are missed. A well execution search solution will achieve high recall and it will produce a complimentary level of precision.

Search Technologies is often engaged to lend our experience in tuning and balancing precision and recall of previously implemented search solutions. Contact us to learn more, whether you are fielding your first search or need assistance completing or expanding existing capabilities.
