Funnelback 12 Delivers Quantum Leap in Scale and Speed of Enterprise Searching For Big Data

Sydney (6 September, 2012) – Search technology company, Funnelback, has announced the release of Version 12 of its website and enterprise search offerings.

Funnelback Version 12 was unveiled at the recent Funnelback User Conference in Brisbane on 30 August 2012.

“Version 12 significantly enhances the speed and scale of searching in the enterprise,” said Matthew Sheppard, Manager of Research and Development at Funnelback.

“As the issue of Big Data increases globally, the need for powerful search technology with the ability to search multiple information sources and across large data sets becomes paramount. Funnelback Version 12 unlocks the value of enterprise information like never before,” said Mr. Sheppard.

Funnelback 12 adds faster and more powerful data searching capabilities. These include better performance of file share and HP TRIM gathering, and “Search as You Gather”, the ability to search immediately as content is gathered.

The latest version of Funnelback also returns more informative search results with date-based facets, easily categorising results by dates, and TextMiner, a new feature that helps define terms and acronyms for users, providing direct access to more information and context on a query.

Aesthetically, Version 12 features a brand new web-based administration interface designed to simplify maintenance and customisation.

"More organisations are switching to Funnelback because they see the value of adding powerful and effective search technology to the applications they use every day," said Brett Matson, Managing Director of Funnelback. “Our extensive search experience is built into the core of all our products, including Version 12. It's what keeps Funnelback customers ahead of the competition."

Funnelback Version 12 also comes with better APIs for integration with other data sources, more tunable ranking algorithms and faster query completion.
