Internal Search Systems
When people recreate work that already exists because finding it costs more than redoing it.
Search across internal tools and repositories, scoped to each user's access, so people can find what exists instead of producing it again. The duplicated effort is usually invisible in any system, which is why the problem persists.
Coverage matters more than sophistication here: a good ranking over half the corpus is worse than adequate ranking over all of it.
What the work includes
- Connectors across the tools where work actually accumulates
- Per-user access scoping applied consistently across sources
- Ranking tuned against real internal queries
- Coverage reporting so gaps are known rather than assumed away
