Google Search Appliance Features

The Google Search Appliance offers end users many of the same benefits they have come to expect from Google.com with specific enterprise enhancements that make search easy, useful and intuitive:

 

 

•	Google quality and ranking
	For each query, Google factors in 100 variables, including anchor text, URL patterns, fonts and positioning data to calculate relevance.
•	Dynamic page summaries
	Search result summaries contain dynamically generated snippets of text that show how your query was used on the page.
•	Results grouping
	Multiple results from the same subdirectory are grouped together, making search results easier to read quickly.
•	Automatic spellchecker
	Google's self-learning spellchecker automatically detects misspellings and suggests corrections. Using technology developed by Google, it is far more accurate than industry standard software.
•	Cached pages
	Caches copies of every page in your index, so search results can be viewed when the original sites are down.
•	Hit highlighting
	Query terms are highlighted on cached pages, allowing users to quickly find which parts of a page are relevant to their queries.
•	View as HTML
	Non-HTML search results are automatically reformatted as HTML, enabling users a quick glimpse at the content without having to launch the original application in which the content was created.
•	Sort by date
	Enables users to get at time-sensitive information first. Dates can be identified in any international format.
•	Advanced boolean search
	Offers more than 10 special query terms for advanced search functionality and supports Boolean AND, OR, and NOT searches.

 

•	Web-based Admin Console
	The admin console supports multiple logins and administrative roles for crawling, serving, and monitoring with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
•	Subcollections
	Categorize searches according to URL patterns.
•	Synonyms
	Define synonyms for company-specific acronyms or terminology and have those terms be displayed as suggested alternative queries.
•	Keymatch
	Define matches between URLs and keywords so that the targeted URL displays above the main set of search results.
•	Look and Feel
	Search results customizable using XSLT stylesheets.
•	Reporting
	Web-based reports show daily and hourly result sets, top queries, special feature usage, and more. Easily export the reports for use in other reporting tools.
•	URL Tracking
	Analyzes all crawled content and hosts, making it easy for administrators to identify problematic servers, errors, and sources of content.
•	Remote Diagnostics
	Comes equipped with a modem connection for remote maintenance by Google support if necessary.

 

•	Web Servers
	The Google Search Appliance maps all the web documents on your network accessible via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) in a process known as crawling, then creates an index of those documents.
•	Secure Search
	The Google Search Appliance has the capability to crawl password-protected areas and HTTPs content. Secure information protected by basic authentication or NTLM is shown only to users who have access authorization.
•	Proxy Servers
	Crawls content located behind proxy servers.
•	Lotus Domino
	Fast, efficient crawling of Lotus Domino servers.
•	Meta Tags
	Supports standard meta tag fields, enabling search narrowing and filtering based on meta tag values. Also can return meta tag data for display in search results.
•	File Types
	Search more than 200 file types, including HTML, Microsoft Office™, PDF, PostScript, WordPerfect, Lotus, and many others.
•	Languages
	Able to restrict searches to any one of 28 languages.
