I can search my Microsoft Outlook emails and my desktop files at the same time.
I can search my Microsoft Outlook emails and my desktop files at the same time. I also love the preview function in the search pane We're using a shared index for our company, so everyone in the company is able to search from a single index. That means that each computer has more resources…

Scales linearly and vertically; primarily used in AI
If I am not wrong, IDOL is working to release improvements in new capabilities in the next six months. There is room for improvement in some very important capabilities in visual analytics. They have been focusing on improving the face recognition algorithm. The accuracy of object detection could be improved as well and I know they are working on that at the moment. I would like to see some machine learning capabilities added to the next release.
