Content Analytics with Enterprise Search | IBM |
This guide gets you started with a typical installation for IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search, Version 3.0.
National language version: The Quick Start Guide is available in other languages on the Quick Start CD.
Content analytics enables organizations to derive new business understanding and visibility from the content and context of unstructured information. Enterprise search enables organizations to make content from multiple structured and unstructured sources searchable by enterprise users.
IBM® Content Analytics with Enterprise Search combines the strengths of these two technologies. Business analysts can use the content analytics miner to explore data and discover relationships, correlations, and trends. Enterprise users can use an enterprise search application to query collections of documents and retrieve relevant information from a ranked list of results.

Crawlers gather documents from structured and unstructured data sources. The parser extracts information from the crawled documents, which is then processed by document processors, analyzed, and indexed. Users search and explore the indexed data through enterprise search applications and the content analytics miner. You can create custom applications to administer the system or search and explore content.
