FT Search Manager Review:
Google-like Search for Domino!

Rating: 5 out of 5.
Notes/Domino search functionality has lagged behind the web since the arrival of Google. FT Search Manager now brings Notes & Domino into the 21st century with its simple configuration, easy-to-use interface, and customizable, intuitive search results. In addition, the fact that FT Search Manager is completely Notes native makes it a snap to deploy with our existing solutions with no executables or third-party installers required. FT Search Manager is really the "killer app" we have been searching for.
Beyond the initial effectiveness of the tool, perhaps the most valuable aspect of doing business with IONET has been their willingness to customize the application to perform specific functionality. While this functionality is obscure and unlikely to be used widely, it is a tremendous benefit to most of our customers.
IONET's FT Search Manager allows us to meet a mission-critical need for several of our largest customers. IONET has provided a tool that we were A) unable to effectively develop in-house and B) unable to find from other IBM Business Partners or third-party vendors. I found nothing that can compare with FT Search Manager's flexibility, ease of use, stability, and quality of results. It is the only multi-database search tool I will recommend to associates or other businesses using Lotus Notes & Domino.
