Do you spend hours each month searching for, and not always finding, the document or information you need to do your job? These are often not just ‘would-like-to-have’ files, but rather those that you actually need to complete your work. Other times they are the ones that would help you do your job faster and better, if only you could find them.
Many organizations have numerous content repositories including databases, document management systems, file shares, content management systems, intranets, public-facing websites, and of course, clinical and safety systems. What if there were a way to search all of those repositories at once, using a single search box, and quickly pinpoint the exact document or information that you need?
Leading life sciences companies, including Amgen and Genentech, use the Google Search Appliance to search across multiple content sources in order to improve business processes like compliance, research and development, marketing, and more.
In our webinar, Google's Head of Search, Rob Cocks, and Perficient’s Google Practice Director, Chad Johnson, discussed why and how life sciences companies can leverage the Google Search Appliance to save time, money, and eliminate frustration.
Topics included:
-Overview of the Google Search Appliance
-Use cases for life sciences companies
-Implementation process

GOING BEYOND KEYWORD SEARCH
Myths:
• Google Search only finds results that contain your search terms
• Google Search can’t tell me something I didn’t know I was looking for
• Nobody uses “Advanced Search” settings. Ever.
• I’m going to miss my kid’s recital because I have to do so much
metadata tagging
22. 22
BENEFITS OF ADVANCED SEARCH
• Automatically searching multiple sources reduces
the effort to find information
• Information from one source can be used to more
selectively search other sources
• Entity-recognition and automatic tagging might not
be perfect, but they can produce statistically
interesting information
• Combining information from the query, facets, and
other search results produces a more cohesive and
interesting experience

ANALYTICS
• Establish deterministic baselines
• Look for both good and bad events
• Useful countermeasures:
• KeyMatches / OneBox
Modules
• Result Biasing
• Synonyms
• Content Cleansing
• Test all changes against the
baseline
• Repeat frequently
