Selecting and Implementing Web and Intranet Search
to be held at
CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WC1E 7AE 
Thursday, 22nd  February 2007, 9.30 - 16.30 


Course Outline
Effective search is a vital element in ensuring that users of web sites and
intranets can be certain that they have found all the relevant information
that is available. Search has to work, and work well. 

This workshop provides practical advice on selecting, installing and
implementing search for web sites and intranets. The opening sessions of the
workshop explain how search technology works, an essential precursor to
understanding how to get the best from commercial and open source search
software. The workshop then goes on to illustrate the importance of the
design and usability of the search results pages, and highlights the
similarities and differences between searching web sites and searching
intranets. Desk top and enterprise search applications will also be
discussed. Note that this workshop does not cover search engine
optimization. 

The sessions will include
* How search engines work
* A survey of search engine suppliers
* Making a business case for search
* Search usability issues
* Specifying and selecting a search engine
* Ten steps to implementing web site search
* Ten steps to implementing intranet search

Who should attend
This workshop will be of benefit to web and intranet managers who want to
provide a better search experience for users, either through implementing a
new search engine or through improving the usability of their current
application. No technical knowledge of search software is required to gain
the maximum benefit from this workshop.
