What's New Snapshot
OneBox for Enterprise [pdf]
Provide users with easy access to an infinite variety of information sources from inside or outside the company – right from the search box. Google OneBox for Enterprise provides access to up-to-the-minute information across virtually all enterprise applications and services -- including information stored in Cognos, Cisco, Employease, Netsuite, Oracle, Salesforce.com and SAS systems.
Integrate with document security systems
The Mini can crawl and serve search results for sites protected by HTTP Basic and NTLM v1 and v2 security and can integrate with your LDAP system. The new Mini release enables both authentication and authorization at serve time, so you can make sure individual users see only the results they have clearance to access. If you require integration with other security systems, including single sign-on systems, you should consider the Google Search Appliance.
Additional reporting
Easily access more detailed reports on what the Mini's crawler has indexed and will index, as well as errors that the Mini found when crawling. Also see what users are searching for on your site.
Auto-generate a sitemap for Google.com's crawler
The Google Mini can automatically build a sitemap you can submit to Google Webmaster Tools so that Google.com can discover and crawl your public website's content.
Google Analytics Integration
Understand how visitors are using your public website, and improve the effectiveness of your search results.
End Users
Google search quality
We've taken Google web search and optimized it for use on public websites and corporate networks to deliver relevant search results at record speed.
Familiarity breeds contentment
By providing the same familiar look and feel as Google.com, the Google Mini offers a search solution that your users can actually use. You can weave Google into your site design either by giving the Google Mini interface a “mini” makeover, using a built-in wizard interface, or by doing a full facelift via the Mini's XML feed.
Helping users work smarter
The Google Mini's productivity-enhancing extras include a self-learning spell checker, the ability to view documents in HTML (instead of having to download plug-ins), and accessing cached versions of documents - even the ones that are offline.
Search across all your content - even email
The Google Mini's integration with Google Desktop for Enterprise makes it easy for users to find documents on their computers, your intranet and the Internet via a single search interface. And with Google Toolbar for Enterprise you can have a search box tied to the Google Mini right in your browser.
Number Range Search
Restrict search results by a number range - makes it easy for users to restrict by price range or any other numerical value. For example, when comparison shopping for digital cameras using a Mini, search for "digital cameras $200-$250."
Date Range Search
Enables users to restrict search results to a particular date range. For example, when searching for Honda Accords, search for "Honda Accords 2003-2005."
Administrators
Insight into user search behaviour
The Google Mini is more than a great search experience. It helps you improve your site's usability by generating reports on page errors and broken links, and captures your organization's zeitgeist by providing reports on search-term frequency that you can use to identify your users' hot-button issues. Integration with Google Analytics makes it easy to add tracking code to your search results pages.
Unlimited collections and front ends
Power search across multiple sites with increased security and control over the user interface of each site.
Plug-and-play productivity
As a seamlessly integrated hardware and software solution, the Google Mini requires no additional components or tinkering to get started. The initial configuration is so streamlined that you should be able to complete it in as little as a half-hour. The Mini will find content on your file servers and websites, and provide a Google interface that everyone in your company is familiar with.
No document tagging or customization required
Google believes the technology, not the site administrator, should do the heavy lifting. To that end, the Mini's search relevance technology automatically considers over 100 different factors when determining search results, eliminating the need for costly and confusing manual search customization. The Mini can automatically detect sections of your site that change and crawl them more frequently, or you can schedule the Mini to crawl across all of your content on a recurring basis.
Minimal ongoing administration
Once configured, the Google Mini can be set to intelligently crawl your content as data changes, using its continuous crawl feature, or you can set it to index content on an ongoing basis. But if you need to make any changes or feel like checking in while away, the Mini's web-based interface gives you full remote access to all administrator functionality – even if you're away on vacation in a tropical paradise.
