SPxConnect Hummingbird Search Module ScreenshotThe Hummingbird Search Module extends SharePoint search to include millions of Hummingbird documents to provide a single interface for search across multiple systems.

In addition to indexing document contents, the Hummingbird Search Module can index any or all attributes and profile information stored in Hummingbird, enabling users to search based on content as well as attributes such as client, matter, and document type.

Our unique search solution combines a high-volume, high-performance architecture that scales easily with SharePoint, a layered security model which enforces content security through both persisted and real-time permissions validation, and customizable and interactive search results that provide sorting, grouping and drill-down capabilities, navigation to related information, and contextual real-time integration with Hummingbird.
External Security Enforced
Content SecuritySharePoint uses Active Directory as its means to secure content and search results. To securely integrate Hummingbird content with SharePoint, Hummingbird users and groups must be mapped to Active Directory users and groups. SPxConnect Hummingbird Search Module does this mapping automatically and includes simple tools to manually adjust the alignment between Hummingbird and Active Directory when needed.

Once security settings are aligned, the Hummingbird security settings are collected along with content and persisted in the SharePoint index. This provides a high level of security that is updated at each full and incremental crawl. Storing access rights in the index allows SharePoint to provide fast and accurate results.

To further secure content, real-time security is maintained by inspecting permissions within Hummingbird as search results are displayed, ensuring the most up-to-date settings are applied.

This combination of persisted and real-time security trimming ensures Hummingbird security is enforced and users access only appropriate information without any degradation of performance.
Interactive, Integrated Results
Interactive ResultsSPxConnect Hummingbird Search Module takes full advantage of Microsoft search technology with intelligent relevancy ranking, customizable thesaurus, "starts with", proximity, and "restrict by file type", combining result across multiple systems.

Basic and advanced search provide both simple keyword-based search and targeted search based on Hummingbird properties and full-text content that can be customized according to source system configurations.
Results can be fully integrated with Hummingbird functionality using the SPxConnect Hummingbird Module allowing users to access content directly from their search results.
Users can easily change sorting and grouping and dynamically refine their search with context-aware navigation.
