Today we release our 2009 Cross-Check^tm chart for enterprise search and information access technology, as well as an update to our Search & Information Access Report 2009. In addition to adding a full product evaluation of Omniture's SiteSearch offering, we've updated our coverage of Microsoft, FAST, and the nearly-dead Surfray/Mondosoft. 

As part of our Cross-Check analysis, we noted enterprise search vendors have spent much of the past year digesting acquisitions and stabilizing their offerings. While in the past, search & information access technology buyers faced vendors and technology both undergoing rapid change, the choices are now more stable. It's perhaps a sign of the times that vendors are debuting fewer new features, and focused more on stabilizing their current offering, selling smarter, and keeping customers happy.

You can read more in today's press release, and all the details in our newly-updated Search & Information Access Report 2009. If you are a subscriber to our search coverage, you will receive your update shortly.
