Ingestion & Processing 

Discovery ingestion orchestrates the gathering and importing of data from various data sources. Connectors to common data repositories are available as standard, enabling scalable and efficient ingestion of raw data, documents and metadata while upholding access controls. Moreover, these connectors monitor data sources in real-time, processing additions, updates, and deletions as they happen. Bespoke connectors can be built using our developer-friendly connector framework.

Discovery’s content processing pipelines streamline various tasks to optimize search. Processors within the pipeline clean, normalize, and enrich data, while specialized components handle tasks like generating embeddings (using a Large Language Model) for vector search and content tagging. By ensuring efficient processing and indexing, these pipelines empower powerful search functionalities and a seamless user experience. 

Hydrate 

Processed, cleansed, and enhanced data is published to an enterprise search engine and/or knowledge graph. We call this hydration. Discovery is independent of search and knowledge graph technology, and we have built hydrators for industry leading products using our toolkit. The enriched data enables advanced search features such as vector search, extractive answers and generative answers. 

Discovery API 

Discovery's API empowers developers to create personalized search experiences effortlessly via configuration. Unlike traditional API adjustments requiring code changes, building, versioning, and deploying, Discovery API allows for on-the-fly tweaking, ensuring quick and seamless updates. Utilizing advanced query parsing, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and other AI services, the API effectively discerns user intent. Security measures are integrated within the API to guarantee that users can only access authorized results, a vital aspect within enterprise environments.  

Security 

Data security and access control are critical to any application platform. Discovery will have the capability to encrypt and secure data throughout its lifecycle, from ingestion, to processing, to consumption by end users or applications. 

Search Relevance Scoring and Tuning 

Search applications are like automobiles – they perform better with regular maintenance and tuning. Discovery includes optional tools and methodologies to monitor and score the relevance of search results to end users. This is the first step in diagnosing and fixing search application issues, or to determine the impact of a change or enhancement to the search application.
