An intranet’s search functionality uses an algorithm to decide which content best matches the user’s search term (unless the search is hardwired directly to a piece of content).

One of the most important attributes of an intranet is the ability to contain the organization’s wealth of data needed for daily operation in one single location. However, holding the data in a single place is of no use if the employees who need that data are not able to locate what they require.
Intranet users employ a variety of methods for finding information on a company’s intranet, specifically; information architecture (menus), links (quick links, page links and direct links) and search. This article will focus on the inner workings of search functionality and how to create a more user-centric search through a better understanding of best practices in this area.

Search is only as good as the metadata

The underpinnings of a search is often the most important element in determining a user’s satisfaction and efficiency with the site’s search functionality. One of the most common complaint we hear from users is “I can’t find anything with the search”. Typically the reason a user is unable to find what they are looking for is tied to the inner workings of the search itself. An intranet’s search functionality uses an algorithm to decide which content best matches the user’s search term (unless the search is hardwired directly to a piece of content). This is often based on how frequently the function finds the search term (or a similar term) within the article or the meta-tags (including taxonomy) that an article is associated with. When creating content, it is critical to consider how a user would search for the content and to create an appropriate title and metadata that reflects the user’s predicted behavior. This will aid in the algorithm’s ability to lead users to the correct article they are seeking.

Expect the user to make a mistake

Typos are a common occurrence when users are typing into a search engine. A robust search engine will anticipate typos and will be able to suggest the correct spelling (as well as lead the user to the expected results). This includes caps (Career=career=CAReeR) as well as misspellings of words (Career=Carer=dareer). Different users will use variations of a search term and expect to reach the same results page. For example, a user who types in “careers” expects to receive the same results as another user who searches with “jobs”. However, sadly this is rarely the case, in modern intranets. As intranet searches uses both metadata as well as a text search of the article the results could vary depending on which of the terms are used in the article itself (even if the metadata includes both terms). As such, it becomes critical for the search engine to take similar terms into account much the same way as a thesaurus would in order for the user to reach the expected results.

Allow ‘Google-Like’ Searches

Most of the employees in an organization are accustom to searching on Google. This means that many are use to using Boolean search operations (and/or/not/and not/near/with/phrase) even if they are not aware that they are using those techniques. However, many intranet sites have not yet added this functionality and as a result are limiting the ability of a user to find what they are looking to without resorting to an advanced search screen. It is imperative that this functionality be added in order to permit users to find the information they seek much easier.

Hardwire common search terms

It is very common for most of the searches on an intranet to be for the same 20 search terms. Through studying the search analytics the common search terms can be uncovered for your organization. Once this is achieved, study the results from each of these common terms and see if the “best” or “most frequently selected” results are the ones, which are being populated for the user. It is likely that by hardwiring the results for common search terms the user experience will improve.
A cautionary note for hardwiring results: there is a need to review the results on a frequent basis and to adjust them over time to reflect new/revised content. The review needs to ensure that users are still receiving the best possible results for their search.

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Katana Amp

BOSS Tone Studio allows you to access many additional functions inside a Katana amp.

With its ultra-responsive feel, gig-ready tones, and versatile onboard effects, the affordable BOSS Katana series is taking the guitar amplifier world by storm. By design, all Katana amps feature an instantly familiar interface that makes it easy to dial in and save great sounds on the fly. But there’s even more power under the hood, and it’s all accessible via the free BOSS Tone Studio editor. Read on as we check out all the cool things you can do with this powerful editor for the Katana amp series.

First Things First

If you already have a Katana amp and want to get started with BOSS Tone Studio, you’ll need to download and install the following items:

  • The latest firmware for your Katana amp model (if needed).
  • The Katana driver for your computer’s operating system.
  • BOSS Tone Studio for Katana.

To find all these files, go to the product page for your Katana amp model and click on the Downloads tab. Before installing them, carefully read the instructions provided with the downloads. To get a PDF instruction manual for using BOSS Tone Studio with the Katana amps, click on the Support tab at your amp’s product page.

If you don’t yet own a Katana amp, you can still download the BOSS Tone Studio editor and use it in offline mode to explore all the things it can do.

Overview: BOSS Tone Studio for Katana

Once your Katana is connected to BOSS Tone Studio, you’ll see an intuitive graphic interface for adjusting nearly everything in the amp. You can tweak amp tones, load and customize different effects, save and recall Tone Settings, and more. The software directly interacts with the amp, allowing you to intuitively create sounds as you play. Any editor adjustments you make are immediately reflected in the amp, and vice versa.

Editing Amp Tones

At the top of the main Editor screen, all the amplifier controls are accessible. With fine control of each parameter from 0-100, you’re able to make microscopic tweaks and dial in sounds to perfection.

Editing Effects

Along with its fantastic amp tones, each Katana amp also include access to 55 different BOSS effects. With BOSS Tone Studio, you can audition and edit these effects, and then load them up in the Katana’s 15 available onboard storage locations.

Effects Categories

The Katana’s effects are organized into five different categories:

  • Booster
  • Mod
  • Delay
  • FX
  • Reverb

In the Booster, Delay, and Reverb categories, you can only load effects from those specific groups. But the Mod and FX categories can load effects from the combined Mod/FX group, allowing you to have the same effect assigned to both categories if you wish. You might find this desirable when setting up the effects chain, which we’ll discuss coming up.

Each category has three different slots, and you can load a different effect in each.

Effects Chain

Seasoned players know that some effects work best before the amplifier, while others work best after the amplifier’s preamp section. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to use wahs, compressors, overdrives, distortions, and boosters in front of the amp, and reverb after the preamp. With mod and delay effects, it depends—you might want to use them in either location, depending on the sound you’re after.

The BOSS engineers have taken this into account, giving you the ability to adjust the effects order with BOSS Tone Studio. Three different chains are available, as shown in the following image:

Effects can be arranged in three different chains.

Fine-Tune Effects Parameters

Once you load effects into the slots, you’re able to tweak them in fine detail. Each effect type has a full set of parameters to adjust, similar to what’s available in the GT-100, BOSS’s flagship multi-effects unit.

BOSS Tone Studio for Katana provides deep editing of effects parameters.

Noise Suppressor

In addition to its five effects categories, the Katana also has a built-in noise suppressor. This can be helpful to tame background noise with high-gain sounds. It can only be adjusted with BOSS Tone Studio; there are no controls available from the amp’s panel. Unlike a simple noise gate, the Katana’s noise suppressor intelligently follows the sound’s natural decay, so it won’t harm the character of your tone.

From BOSS Tone Studio, the Katana noise suppressor can be adjusted as needed for every Tone Setting.

Saving Tone Settings

After you adjust the various parameters to your liking, you can save them as a Tone Setting in the Katana. Just click the WRITE button in the upper right corner of the Editor page, give the setting a name, and save it to the desired destination (CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4).

Librarian and Live Sets

BOSS Tone Studio also includes a librarian that allows you to back up the current settings in the amp, work with Live Sets, and more. Basically, Live Sets provide a way to store and organize Tone Settings into groups for different gigs, songs, recording sessions, or whatever you want. When you want to load them into the Katana, just drag them to the desired locations in the left side of the screen.

Download Pro Live Sets at BOSS Tone Central

When your computer is connected to the web, BOSS Tone Studio provides direct access to BOSS Tone Central. Simply click on the TONE CENTRAL button in the lower left corner to browse the many Katana Live Set collections created by top pro players. You’re able to audition audio demos of the sounds, and directly add them to your local Katana library.

BOSS Tone Studio gives you direct access to Katana Live Set collections at BOSS Tone Central.

System Settings and Audio Player

Clicking on the SYSTEM button in the lower right corner will take you to some master settings for the amp and software. Here, you can adjust MIDI, USB, and device settings, download the latest Katana owner’s manual, and more. The Katana-100, Katana-100/212, and Katana-Head models are equipped with a rear-panel effects loop for patching in external effects devices. From the System page in the editor, you can adjust send/return levels for the loop, and set it for either series or parallel operation.

Right next to the SYSTEM button is a PLAY button. Clicking this opens a screen that allows you to jam along with WAV songs stored on your computer.
