The Enterprise Search Report 2008 looks at... Google Appliance

"Even Google's marketing won't go so far as to call their implementation "enterprise-class security," instead favoring to highlight single sign-on (which the Appliance supports quite well). Document-level security is handled late-binding - the result sets are filtered for hits a searcher is allowed to see, which requires the system to fire off separate requests for each hit to see if it may be displayed. This has only one advantage - the authorization will be up-to-date to the second - but, certainly in Google's implementation, several drawbacks. "

Google upgrades search appliance, again

22-Sep-2006

Slowly but surely Google is responding to customer requests for more capacity and greater control over results sets. Google enhanced its mid- and upper-range Appliances, the GB-5005 and GB-8008. The GB-5005 can now handle 10 million documents and the GB-8008 more than 30 million. That's nice, but enterprise searchers want ways to chop down long lists of results. As the volume of electronic information in an organization grows, fewer, on-point results become the order of the day. Appliance users can now limit queries by date range or a numeric search. The Appliance's traditionally somewhat puzzling admin interfaces have been tweaked to group together certain features such as configuring crawls in Windows environments. The upgrade also adds support for an additional 10 languages. Note that these enhancements apply to the Appliance, not the Mini.
