The GSA is Google Mini'sbig brother so it is bigger, faster, smarter, and comes with more options. The GSA differs, however, from a human big brother in that human big brothers may only think they are bigger, faster, smarter, and come with more options where the GSA really does have those features.

Google Search Appliances and Google Mini Search Engines are the sons of that big daddy of all search engines – Google.  They come from the makers of the original Google Search Engine and have been created using the knowledge, and years of experience, the makers have gained from supplying a search engine service to all the people who use the internet daily.

Most people have used Google to do a search on the internet.  At any point in time hundreds of thousands of users are searching the Google database for hundreds of thousands of things contained in all sorts of files all over the internet.  It’s pretty rare; in fact I can only assume it’s possible since I have never experienced it, for Google to let a user down.  If the information you need is on the internet Google will find it and find it fast if you type in the correct keywords.

Now you can have that same efficiency when you search your own internal database. The GSA can handle more than 100 user queries per second and its base model can handle up to 500,000 documents or files.

 Your web site & the Google Search Appliance

People have been spoilt by the massive internet search engines.  They are used to fast, efficient, search results and will lose patience with search engines that don’t match the standard of the big web search engine results.

As for sites with no search capacity at all – customers tend to move on after clicking a couple of links if they don’t find what they are looking for.

With a GSA installed and integrated into your website your customers will get the speed and efficiency they expect.  They will find the article or product they are looking for on your site in fractions of seconds and they will love the fact they don’t have to click link after link after link to find what they want.

You will love it because, unlike the big daddy of search engines, you can manipulate the results of your GSA to showcase items or take users where you want them to go on your site.

With the GSA and Google Mini there is no need to worry about keyword and search engine optimization.  You don’t have to buy a place for your featured item in the top page of the search results.  You simply tell the search engine what you want it to give people who search your site and it obeys.

The team at By Wild wanted to be able to give users of this site an example of what this feature means.  We told our Google search engine to take users who type “abc”, with no quotation marks, into the search box on this page to a specific results page.  That page contains a link that will bring you back to the page you are now on.

Go ahead – try it.  We’ll wait.

Welcome back.  As you can see, Google’s offspring are much more obedient to, and accommodating of, special needs than their dad.

 Your Intranet & the Google Search Appliance

All the above mentioned benefits apply to your intranet too.  Your GSA will give you and your employee’s maximum speed, maximum efficiency, and tailored results that will delight you all.

How many times have you stared blankly at your computer screen trying to remember where that document you needed was?  You knew it was there somewhere.  You saw it when you spent 15 minutes searching for something else you needed.

A Google Search Appliance will take those time wasting, head scratching, memory searching exercises out of your workplace for good.  The GSA can be configured to produce the right file in a split second making your employees more efficient and, by definition, more productive in their work.

 How will a GSA become an investment.

One of the hardest things to do with a website is to keep the customer coming back.  When you have a GSA on your website working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give your customers fast and accurate results customers will try you first the next time they want something.  They won’t forget how long it took them on your competitor’s site to click link after link until they got annoyed and gave up.

The ability to type what they want into your GSA and find out instantly if you have it will please your customers and keep them coming back to try you first.

Within your organisation the GSA will save you money on wages, phone calls and a reduction in the number of lost customers.

You’ll save money on wages because you and your employee’s will no longer have to play detective to find vital information needed to do the job.  This means you can do more work and less head scratching.

You’ll save money on phone calls because you won’t have to tell a potential customer you can’t find the information they want and call them back when you find it.

You won’t lose customers because they tell you not to worry about calling them back as they would prefer to try someone else.

 The Google Search Appliance

The GSA is perfect for large businesses and government departments who have many employees and a lot of search queries per second. If you have more than 300,000 document or files to be indexed, and are likely to have 25 or more search queries per second, the GSA is the platform you want.

The Google Search Appliance comes in three different sizes or models.

GB-1001 can search up to 500,000 documents and files.
GB-5005 can search up to five million documents and files.
GB-8008 can search up to tens of millions documents and files.

Prices for the GSA start at $72.995.00 Price includes GST.

The GSA has an added advantage over the Google Mini in that you can add modules called Google OneBox for Enterprise into the device to build even more search capabilities into your company for your clientele. These could include, but are not limited to, weather forecasts, flight information or any sort of other enterprise data you deal with

 Google OneBox for Enterprise

The new Google OneBox for Enterprise search engine add-on provides access to an unlimited range of information from inside or outside a company. Google OneBox for Enterprise provides fast, easy to use, and secure access to business information right from the search box. “OneBox” refers to the simple process of typing a query into Google.com to get specific information such as airline flight times, weather, or stock prices. With OneBox for Enterprise, employees can now use this same familiar technique to access information such as contact and calendar info, HR benefits, sales leads, or purchase order status.

Google OneBox for Enterprise was built with developers in mind. It is simple to use and the range of existing OneBox modules makes it easy to unify access to your business applications. The application programming interface (API) is fully documented and you can download the software development kit (SDK) including examples and a simulator at
