Vendors in the enterprise search market provide the means to discover information, index it, and combine it with information derived from live queries in order to help people find what they need in a timely fashion. The ability to collect queries from users and apply them to a matrix of information and informative sources, and then to communicate results back to users efficiently, is at the heart of enterprise search technology."
