eCommerce – Search Engines
|
|
All commercial e-commerce systems contain product search functions. However, in many cases, only provide basic functionality is provided, leaving the system unable to deal with more complex demands. To solve this problem, a number of providers offer specialist components.
|
|
Our project experience means that we have gained insight into the implementation and operation of these components. They include commercial products such as Empolis Orenge and Omikron FactFinder, as well as the open-source component "APACHE Lucene". The results of an in-depth, internal research and development project mean that we can provide our clients with alternative component recommentations.
