	Searching for utopia - the future of search Effective business or enterprise search, for many organisations, implies much more than simply typing in a keyword and pressing 'go', as most users do when searching the World Wide Web. It requires the ability to retrieve relevant information in a timely manner across multiple data repositories and involves the use of various technologies such as content classification, categorisation and clustering; fact and entity extraction; metadata and taxonomy management; visualisation and personalised search. This conference will focus on the key considerations for ensuring effective search across your enterprise as well as looking at the future developments in the search market.
