Customer CasesOntolica Search drives business productivity for Nintendo of North America, Parsons Corporation and Best Buy.
Improve Efficiency by Removing Irrelevant Search Results
What do the multibillion dollar companies Nintendo of North America, Parsons Corporation, and Best Buy all have in common? They all leverage the power of Ontolica® Search, a SharePoint search extension, for their project management and collaboration portals. Although standing apart as leaders in the fields of Gaming, Construction, and Retail, these giants provide their employees the tools they need to navigate to the information they are looking for quickly and efficiently.
Although the specifics of these internal Ontolica® implementations can drastically vary, the common goal of guiding employees to mission critical information is consistent throughout. By providing intuitive navigation features such as faceted search refinements, quick filters, and result categorization, users quickly narrow down large result sets to a more manageable and relevant group.
Nintendo of North America, Parsons Corporation, and Best Buy all provide Quick Filters and Faceted Search Refinements to enable team members to clear away irrelevant search results, and jump to what is important. Quick filters provide users with the ability to quickly insert custom rules that narrow down search results to specific criteria. The popular “documents” quick filter allows users to remove all search results that are not Microsoft Word or PDF file types.
With Faceted Search Refinements, users have the ability to narrow down on any piece of metadata such as author, file type or site. Every time a user performs a search, Ontolica® dynamically creates a new list of relevant refinements based off the result set, so administrators don’t have to manually build search facets. Refinements help guide users to information by leveraging what they already know about the target result.

Ontolica’s scalability and flexible licensing allows companies to strategically implement search enhancements and grow as needed.
