Aust Government Upgrades to Panoptic Search

The Australian Government web site has upgraded its search facilities to use the Panoptic enterprise search engine, ZDNet Australia reported yesterday.

Panoptic is another great CSIRO-developed technology offering deeper and broader search capabilities than traditional and currently popular engines for larger companies. It integrates standard searching of web pages and documents with a host of database indexing capabilities, HTTPS crawling, dynamic site indexing that works with cookies and session id's, highly customisable XML format and metadata searching, and integrated CMS searching, including Lotus Domino, Microsoft, Oracle, Verity, and Vignette.

In addition, it enables companies who already run their own proprietary or customised search engines to extend what they already use easily and seemlessly, allowing for faster, more relevant, higher quality results.

Australian companies already taking advantage of Panoptic's offerings include the ABC, NineMSN, Australian National University, Westpac, the ACCC (Australia's consumer watchdog), and Bluepages, a depression information site.

For more information, see the Panoptic website.
