The Noisy Channel

Last week, I put out a call for help to clean up the Enterprise Search entry on Wikipedia. I decided to answer that call myself by moving the list of vendors and open source alternatives to a separate entry. I also cleaned up that list, eliminating the dubious classification scheme (which you can see on the pre-overhaul version of the Enterprise Search entry) and removing any vendors or open source software that are not notable enough to have Wikipedia entries.

Please take a look and make your own improvements! I see this overhaul as a first step. The resulting entry is a bit spartan, but at least it isn’t a disaster zone. Now we can think about fleshing out the definition(s) of enterprise search, which should be the focus of the entry.
