Cognos has recently added a link among its BI search engine and a new IBM-Yahoo search tool. It would let the users collect structured and unstructured data at the same time. IT executives said that such combined searches could even help users more promptly gather the key data needed to make business decisions.

The Cognos 8 Go Search engine, exposed last spring, could be used to find BI data housed in reports, scorecards and dashboards, company stated. A new interface in the Cognos tool would allow both search engines to be used to conduct a single search.
