Intranet Search Engine: Infoseek Ultraseek Server

An impressive natural language interface, excellent administrative tools and the most accurate, useful display of search results we've seen all make Infoseek Corp.'s Ultraseek Server our choice for best Intranet search engine. Ultraseek Server has limited advanced search options, but it consistently retrieves better results than most engines.

And with Ultraseek Server's support for natural language queries, you can express queries in the form of phrases and questions, instead of with the usual spate of special notations and boolean logic required by most other search engines.

Ultraseek Server's features will appeal to neophyte and advanced users alike. Its intuitive interface lets you search the intranet without first studying a manual. You'll appreciate the way it refines searches by using the initial results as the basis for further searching. Ultraseek Server's exact document count also will help you refine your queries. Administration is easy. You just point Ultraseek Server at your intranet's home page for immediate entrance to search queries. Ultraseek Server indexes (spiders) Web pages in real time. As you modify the site's Web pages, Ultraseek Server detects the frequency of changes and follows up by checking the modified Web pages.
