“The range of navigational tools and visualisation
techniques are as important to the successful
adoption of an enterprise search solution as the
delivery of pertinent results.”

– Enterprise Search and Retrieval 2011/2012, Ovum
“Search usability accounted for an estimated 43
percent of the difference in employee productivity
between the best and worst intranets.”

– Designing Usable Intranets by Nielsen Norman Group
Search usability is important. Nielsen Norman
Group calculated that a 10,000-person company
whose intranet had poor usability would waste
$15 million per year in lost productivity in
comparison with an intranet with good usability.

help users accomplish their goals over time,
