Directed Navigation

IDOL's Directed Navigation offers a way for organizations to integrate valuable information from structured databases with unstructured content. Combining information found within structured fields, such as product name, size or manufacturer, with unstructured content, such as product description, allows users to search and find products quickly and easily. For example, in an eCommerce environment, a customer looking for a specific wine can use a series of drop-down options, such as color, grape and year, to narrow down results and guide them to the product of their choice. By querying the engine with the name of a "directed navigation" field, customers are supplied with a list of all matching textual values found within stored documents. Using a customized user interface, this eCommerce core operation enables clients to gradually refine and validate queries from a complete corpus of data to the subset of documents that contain the most relevant information to their inquiry. Users can also combine directed navigation with IDOL's conceptual search abilities to ensure they always receive the most pertinent answers from the product base.
