I don't think either company can talk about enterprise search. Both of their enterprise products are suited only to the smallest of enterprises and are not customizable enough to do much more than indexing corporate intranets. There is a lot more to it than that. Before either company claims their turf maybe they need to take a look and realize neither owns the enterprise search market right now. There are several bigger players in the market right now, FAST (www.fast.no), Autonomy/Verity (www.autonomy.com), and several others that offer way better feature sets and performance, and have much bigger market share.

I highly recommend back from Hedgren, they only seem to be available now in europe but you can get a limited set of them in the US and Europe through samsonites "Trunk and Co Line". I have one bag i got in amsterdamn 2 years ago and it is one of best purchases i ever made.
