We currently use a range of open source products and commercial products for storing various information (on our internal network). All these products have their own repositories (usually a database) and their own search capabilities and store various types of information.
Currently, the product list is as follows:
- Wordpress
- Jira
- Confluence
- Sharepoint
- Dynamics AX
- Moodle
The problem we are facing is that when you need to search for information, you need to log in to all of these different systems and search for each of them.
I googled for “search engine interface”, “meta search engine”, etc., but I could not find something obvious that solves our problem. At this stage, I have to say that we are not interested in creating one “central repository” for the search, but instead we need an interface that will receive a request from the user, “pack it” into a format that each of the individual search engines understands, receives response (JSON or XML) and presents it to the user
Any suggestions on how we can solve it?
