Show time
A number of projects at work have been hanging around for too long. It’s time to ship these suckers.
Nailed one today. At the office, our intranet site search has been sucking lately, in particular the full-text search of corporate resumes which are kept in both Word and PDF format. For another project, I’ve been boning up on Adobe’s XMP, tagging, and searching PDF metadata. Using what I’ve learned from that project, I was able to make the full-text searching of the resumes 10 times better, and there’s room to make it more better (huh?) by getting the resume metadata in order. A little metadata instruction for the document handlers is all that’s required.
Next up will be to improve over-all site search with advanced search capability (include/exclude certain directories, sort options, natural language, etc.)
