A new search engine for the university

As of this today, the university is using our Distributed Search approach as their main search engine on: http://utwente.nl/search (and also stand-alone on https://search.utwente.nl). The UT search engine offers its user not only the results from a large web crawl, but also live results from many sources that were previously invisible, such as courses, timetables, staff contact information, publications, the local photo database “Beeldbank”, vacancies, etc. The search engine combines about 30 of such sources, and learns over time which sources should be included for a query, even if it has never seen that query, nor the results for the query.
