Coveo Platform Project Guide

Content indexing and search is a mature market. Several solutions, both open source and proprietary, have paved the way to modern search and are now competing for best performance and reliability under all circumstances. Relevance, however, is still a relatively new concept in this market, and knowledge around this notion is therefore quickly and continuously evolving.

The PDF should be used as a complement to the rest of this guide and documentation, not as a replacement. It is a great resource to learn the basics in a streamlined fashion before jumping in more specific topics.
