Google Search Appliance – Its a search monster

Google today released the details about its new version of Google Search Appliance, version 6.0.

According to Google, Google Search Appliance 6.0 comes with a brand new architecture, (GSA)ⁿ, which enables new heights of scalability, customization, and search quality:

Some of the much boasted features of this search monster are:

• Dynamic Scalability – Scale to thousands, millions, even billions of documents – all without disrupting existing GSAs
• GSA-to-GSA Unification – Link multiple GSAs, separated across departments or geographies to provide a unified set of results
• GB-9009 – New product model that searches up to 30 million documents
• GB-7007 – Enhanced architecture now supports search for 500,000 to 10 million documents (3X the power of the GB-1001)
• Fine tune relevancy – Ranking Framework, Node Biasing, and Collection Biasing
• Customizable security, enabling early binding and late binding
• Social search features, including ‘User Added Results’
• User-centric innovations such as Query Suggestions
• Enhanced search quality with improved precision

Now, if all that didn’t make sense, imagine this.

If you had to find a single piece of information by sorting through a billion documents it would take you, on average, about 2000 years (without stopping to sleep). Businesses and large organizations have tons of documents and other types of data — some even have a billion documents that need searching, and it’s unlikely that employees have 2000 years to dedicate to the hunt. Google Search Appliance comes in as a relevant tool here as it can search a billion documents, even if the data is in a bunch of different departments or locations, in all kinds of formats, languages and repositories.

The Google Search Appliance is available for corporates and business entities medium and large.
