What is Expert Finding?
What does 'Expert Finding' mean?
Expert finding answers the question behind many internal searches, which is not where a document is but who to ask. It works by reading who wrote, edited, approved or repeatedly answered questions about a subject, and surfacing those people alongside the documents. For a large or newly merged organisation it is often the most used part of the product. Worth checking: whether the signals come from real activity or only from a directory field nobody maintains.
