Guided Exploration is the answer to the challenges of professional searching. It enables you to find what you need, gain insight and keep a high-level overview. It achieves this by leveraging metadata to drive innovative user interaction based on visual representations and context-sensitive feedback that triggers your associative memory at every step of the process.

How it works

Stepwise refinement

While traditional search engines are very much all-or-nothing, Guided Exploration never leaves you hanging out to dry. At every step of your search, you receive guidance on possible steps that can bring you closer to your goal. The steps presented by the Guided Exploration solution also help to activate your associative memory, which allows you to recognize (instead of specify) promising ways to proceed. This approach prevents the frustration common to traditional searches, which will often give either too many results with no way to proceed except to start all over again, or no results at all.

Visual overviews

The visual aspect of Guided Exploration provides you with a compact, attractive representation of a large amount of information, designed to show the structure of an information collection. This enables you to see the big picture and discover new opportunities that arise from previously undiscovered connections between information clusters.
