PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2003

The Need for User-Friendly Search is Continuously Addressed

by Mondosoft with Regard to Microsoft's Announcement

of a Standard Edition of Content Management Server

Mondosoft has announced that its search engine MondoSearch(TM), in alignment with Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS), will be available in a Standard Edition (SE), targeting medium-sized businesses. This means that the strong combination of reliable content management and great search is now also available for companies who can't afford Enterprise scale versions.

More than 200 enterprises currently harvest the benefits of combining Microsoft CMS with Mondosoft's product suite. These include Carlsberg, Jelly Belly, FRx Software, London Metropolitan Police, Hewlett-Packard Hong Kong Ltd., Ernst and Young, and Epson.

"Search means everything for the usability of web sites and intranets," said Mondosoft president and CEO, Laust Sondergaard. "We are not in the business of excluding new customers based on pricing issues. After more than five years in business, our product suite is available in many sizes and editions, one to fit every need, from scalable enterprise search and analytics solutions, to stand-alone products and limited versions for mid-sized companies. The important thing for us is that we never compromise search quality -- this is why in the new Standard Edition, we restrict indexing instead of cutting functionalities," Mr. Sondergaard explained.

Together Microsoft and Mondosoft, with a cost-effective and complete CMS and search solution, allow a broader set of customers to benefit from the combined action of a robust web content management system and the most user-friendly search functionality on the market. Both CMS SE and MondoSearch SE come with full functionality.

Following are just a few of the features and benefits that the seamless integration implies:

-- Ease of implementation & customization

-- Web Author integration

-- CMS Framework Consistency

-- Highlighting of search words

-- Template-based categorization

-- Great overview of categorized search results in context

-- Support of CMS Workflow (Tracks approvals and page deletions

for incremental indexing)

-- Security based on CMS (Supports User Authentication)

-- .NET platform consistency

Whereas MCMS SE is limited to 15 content contributors, MondoSearch SE is limited to index up to 1000 pages. MondoSearch SE does not work with Mondosoft's synergistic product suite, including BehaviorTracking and InformationManager. Microsoft expects MCMS SE to be available in the end of 2003. MondoSearch SE is now available as an evaluation version at http://www.mondosoft.com/se.
