Usually, the cookie-cutter enterprise search approaches make you lift and shift all of your data into another search engine. Then, they allow you to search for the stuff that you require. This involves moving vast amounts of data from data siloes, databases, and many other sources, into a single indexable source. The traditional methods of enterprise search demand this comprehensive, often cumbersome, data migration, regardless of its size, complexity, or format.
This process is not only laborious but also poses significant risks and challenges. When migrating data, there’s always the potential for data loss or corruption. Furthermore, this method lacks flexibility, as it confines all your data within the boundaries of one search engine’s capabilities and limitations. It’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole; not everything fits neatly or functions optimally.
Not to mention the time and personnel required for maintaining these search engines and their indexes. We have already seen a wave of vector databases again in the name of search. Perform lift and shift of data from one source to another.

Maintain a copy of your data sources in their index and then search. This is a hassle. There is already a better way to federate your queries to every source and combine their search results on a single page. That is the way of Swirl Enterprise Search.
Besides the evident hassle, this approach is costly in terms of resources. It demands constant attention and a significant investment in human capital to manage and maintain these systems. Each update, each tweak in the search algorithm, or a change in data structure calls for a round of adjustments and adaptations. This rigidity can be a major drawback in a dynamic business environment where agility and adaptability are key.
In stark contrast, Swirl Enterprise Search offers a more elegant and efficient solution. By federating queries to each data source and aggregating the results on a single page, it eliminates the need for cumbersome data migrations and constant maintenance, allowing businesses to focus on what truly matters – leveraging their data for insightful decision-making and strategic planning.
