Looks like they are using a blanket stop word list - "I, the, and" etc. Also looks like diacritical folding has been done for accent characters.

You could build a bloom filter with the profane words, then check your tokens for the page against that filter.

I like the color pallet option you provided showing the primary colors. Adding the colors as facet options would be interesting since you can align each of the colors with the items, then maybe a numeric metric you can use to sort the resul

1. Get to know your TAs and professors. This is important... Knowing how to ask for help is important. Make sure you prepare and walk through the steps you went through to assess any problem and where you are stuck. 2. Enjoy the college exp

Jet was purchased for one thing. Marc Lore. The executive team missed their chance to Amazon with Quisdi and were not about to make the same mistake again.

Very interesting. With the speech to text APIs out there would be interesting to further expand to point in time queries of the articles. Similar to the https://podcastsearch.david-smith.org . Facets would be a nice to have - suc

There's a lot! Sentence detection, parts of speech (POS) detection to name a couple. These can be used to determine key concepts in documents that lack metadata. For example: you could cluster on common phrases to identify relationship

The GSA "just worked". Also having the name recognition for public search did a lot to drive its enterprise popularity. It didn't have a lot of bells/whistles, but it addressed the commodity search problem well. Agreed r

You could throw ThoughtSpot in the mix as well. Interesting to see all the search engines position in the "Insight Engine" space now. Mix of analytics/search, but still very customer specific/custom. Curious how many are

Also - see the rise in popularity of OpenShift/PCS/PKS - flexible infrastructure is also catching on.

For large (mature) enterprises, I believe at this point it's safe to expect some level of hybrid cloud architecture. I also agree it would be very difficult/impossible to support this for "realtime" indexing.

Interesting to see more players joining the market. You can't walk into a large Enterprise and start your search conversation with "Your developers just build ____". Otherwise customer will want to build it themselves. The ki

I can think of only rare occasions where any status other than 200 is cached. Usually this is an edge case that has to be configured in the caching tier.

One more point - if you can run the entire index on one machine it makes deploying and managing SOLR much easier to manage than Elastic. The complexity only grows when you have a distributed system. You can fit a lot on a big box.

Definitely. Product catalog information as a whole doesn't change often. Price and availability does. With retail catalogs you often do a full reindex of the data in your master catalog and then run partials to account for price/a

Very much so. For retail/catalog search SOLR dominates. There's a lot more customization available for relevancy/ranking OOB than Elastic. Drawbacks are managing indexing - SOLR cloud is much harder to manage. For commodity s
