Search satisfaction
• Search satisfaction is dependent on
– Information being treated as a business asset
– Being aware of why and how people search
– Consistent content quality
– A metadata strategy
– An appropriate investment in a search team
– An appropriate investment in search technology
– Search performance measurement
Why is content quality so poor?
• Information curation is a hobby
– No formal training
– No internal training
– No time allocated
– No recognition
– No evaluation
– No career progression
– No benefit to the curator

Reflections
Without an information management strategythat ….– Recognises information as an asset
– Implements information governance
– Rewards information quality
– Includes a search strategy
– Invests in search support
…..your investment in search technology will never deliver business value
