Oracle Starting New search Engine

Oracle has staked out ground in the rapidly changing enterprise search industry with the introduction of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g, a standalone engine that can search databases, file systems, enterprise content management systems, portals, e-mail systems and enterprise applications for internal corporate use.

Oracle enters as the corporate search market is realigning and expanding. Two of the major providers of corporate search technology have merged, with Autonomy's acquisition of Verity last year. Then there is Google's entrance into the space. IBM has also thrown its hat into the ring with the introduction of its own standalone engine, OmniFind.
