Where the Heck Is...?


 Where the Heck Is...? That data on last month's sales...the spreadsheet you spent a week updating...the presentation you're delivering in Tampa tomorrow -- they're all part of the growing stockpile of information tucked away in corporate computing systems. But finding that data is getting harder and taking a lot more time. If only it were as easy as a Google search. Our special report, Executive Guide to Search, explains what companies are doing to simplify the process. Learn how a small team inside Google is forging partnerships that could translate the company's success in consumer search into a product that works for corporations. Take a closer look at some of the innovative technology that helps businesses analyze data in real time, and see why business intelligence software actually is making IT departments smarter. Which companies provide the most advanced enterprise search engines? Each year the Software Information Industry Assn. hands out an award in that very category. We profile the outfits that made the final cut. Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison wants to leave them all in the dust. See why he's calling Oracle's new search software ``one of our biggest products in years.'' For all this and more check out www.businessweek.com/go/06search
