"Fat Brain Toys, an online retailer of specialty toys and gifts, has featured home-grown search functionality from our inception nearly three years ago. It worked great for customers searching for single word products like "geomag", but with the pervasiveness of search, our customers became increasingly more savvy with their own querying capabilities. Over the last two years we started to see more and more instances of customers entering complex search phrases into our product search engine such as "magnetic geomag sets on sale". Even though we did indeed offer many Geomag sets on sale, our search functionality simply wasn't complex enough to return a single result. Bottom line: lost opportunities...lost sales. After coming to the conclusion that our internal search functionality was inadequate, it was an easy decision to choose a commercial solution. After all, we thought, who does "search" better than Google? The only real question was cost and integration. With the introduction of the Google Mini, the cost question was answered. Configured with the storage, capabilities, and features that suited the relatively modest requirements of our ecommerce website, the cost vs. benefit equation was easy to compute. For our company, ease and seamless integration were absolute priorities. The Google Mini delivered on both counts. It took just 35 minutes to complete a basic integration from the time we cracked open the box. Using the advanced capabilities of the XML interface, we were able to further customize the integration to provide our customers with a consistent look and feel in addition to the highly-relevant search results. The XML interface even allowed us further tweaks like including product thumbnails for related search results. We often sit back and wonder what we did before the "Mini" entered our lives!"

"We have developed a price quoting application specifically for Federal Government customers looking for GSA Schedule pricing on IT Appliances like the GB-1001. We use the mini to speed source file searching and improve internal document organization for our developers."

"In Q1 2006, we began a plan to redesign our website to make it more user friendly and emphasize certain aspects of our financial services. One of the core functions we wanted to offer was search for our users. In examining the search market, we wanted a solution that had 3 main features: low cost, easy setup, and easy customization. After reading reviews of the market, we came across a review for the Mini appliance. The review emphasized the fact that the appliance excelled in all three areas that we were looking at. Attending the webinars from the Google sales department, we came to realize that this would be a perfect fit for our organization. After receiving the appliance, the setup was easy. We were able to point the search engine to the site map, which then went out and crawled and indexed all our content in a matter of half an hour. The look and feel was then customized using XSLT to match our website so the user had an integrated experience with our content. The search engine also allows custom search boxes, so we were able to place the search dialogue on our website in a fashion that suited our layout. All this work was done by one person, which shows how easy it can be to administer. When we launched our website to the public in May of 2006, the response was tremendous. We were receiving 300 searches a day to start, which has ramped up to over 700 a day. This information has become invaluable to determine what interests our users the most, as well as highlighting what sections to us could use more information. KeyMatch has been useful in this regard as well, since it allows us to direct users to certain content that we find would be of interest to them. We are impressed that Google was able to come out with a self-contained product for a low cost, and it continues to be a valuable part of our site's offerings."

"ForexHelp.com works actively with people and institutions who are leaders in the Foreign Exchange market. We work hard to bring the most important Forex news on the net to our visitors realtime. The knowledge about different Forex markets is a science as well as an art. If you have thousands of articles and documents in different formats, you need to organize this information and make it accessible. After some research we ordered and installed Google Mini - one of the best search platform available on this market today. The installation took about 30 minutes. It is amazing how incredibly easy to setup and use Google Mini! In about two days we created custom PHP scripts and now use XML API to customize search output. The main advantage of XML interface - we are able to keep site's layout/design and include other database driven content and AdSense code on the same page where visitors search by adding one simple call to a script. Google Mini delivers cost-effective, high-quality search for our website. Thank you, Google!"

"GarageGames is an independent game developer community with a large database of developer resources, articles, links, books , blogs and extensive forums. Our home brewed search solution quickly become cumbersome and difficult to use as the community and volume of information grew. It is counter intuitive to think that an external search engine could be better than our custom hand coded solution that knew something about the data -- but the Google Mini is much better, exponentially better! The Google Mini is a dream come true. We had it up and running on our test server within a few hours and deployed it on our live site within a few days after some minor site changes to take better advantage of Google Mini features. The Google Mini reduced support calls/email and improved community relations. We're happy, they are happy, we're all happy. I would recommend the Google Mini to anyone."

"Google Mini was integrated into Gaumer's e-Commerce website. Mini provides search results within an i-Frame on this Commerce Server based website. Customer feedback has been exceptional."

"We use the Google Mini to help our clients find information quickly. We also make custom branded toolbars for the Google Mini and the Google Search Appliance. These toolbars help with the adoption of the Google Mini and help users be more productive. This puts search into the business process. This has been implamented in the Retail, Banking, Healthcare, and Education industries."

"We bought in the Google Mini to evaluate the reality of just how plug-n-play the appliance would be for our needs. The installation process took about 1 hour and we were successfully crawling and indexing all the company's information. The performance and reliability of the device has exceeded our expectations in production. "

"Our documents and pages change constantly. The Google Mini allows us to keep our search relevant for our students and staff."

"Currently using Google Mini to search current and archived documents so that we may re-use material in our marketing copywriting services. We use it along with further pre and post filtering of search information in order to help present the information in the way that we want."

"Setup an XML stream between our corporate headquarters and our hosted web server to dispaly search results on our public website. www.home-technology-store.com. Setup only took a few hours on the mini, but it took a weekend of coding on our website to get everything perfect. Overall the setup was easier than expected. We easily made a return on investment in the first few days. Previous to implementing the Mini we had a 65-70% abandon rate on our old search platform. However with the Google Mini our search results pages abandonment is down to the single digits, and normally on searches that do not cover anything we offer."

"We use a two tiered search engine format for our website. The first tier incorporates our inhouse search functionality. This returns highly formatted data which one can search sort, and do additional searching. However, our search engine is unable to do deep searches of pdf files, and other documentation that we have. It is also rather unforgiving of search terms that one uses. However, what I have been able to do is add the Google Mini on as a "Complete Search" and provide the Google Mini as a second tier or second level seach engine to allow searching of ALL our content. Has it tripled our sales? I think not, and I think that we have more optimizing to do, but I love it!"

"Perfect solution for the complexity of our organization and information. "

Relevancy, Web Administrator

"We successfully integrated the Google Mini in short order into several of our niche e-commerce / content sites utilizing the Google Mini XML API. We were stunned on how simple the custom integration work was to complete and we are now planing to expand our usage of Google Mini(s) into the rest of our web platform."

Colin Faulkingham, Director of IT Development

"We currently use the Google search appliance on our public web site and the Google mini our intranet site. Google has been one of the most popular improvements IT has contributed to the company. Users are thrilled with how easy it is to find the information they seek. We are a bit sheepish about it because it was so easy and painless to deploy-- not to mention very cost effective. We feel a bit guilty about the heaps of praise we've garnered from employees because the time and effort required was negligible! We are Google evangelists now and spread the word to all who will listen."

"Rolled out Google Mini across global public Web sites in multiple languages. Saw decrease in user abandonment with Google Mini as search results turned up more appropriate listings than did previous tool. "

"It is proving very popular with staff and students. it was easy to install and was up and running within an hour."

"Intellext's flagship product, Watson, is a tool designed to allow users to see additional ROI on investments in knowledge management by interfacing with any number of knowledge management systems and document repositories to make searching them easier and results more available/visible. Watson does contextual analysis within applications such as MS Word, Powerpoint, and IE and does automatic searches on the user's behalf based on the context of the document they're working on. Watson will return results from a Google Mini appliance that it has been connected to in addition to results from the Internet and the users' desktop (when using a supported Desktop Search tool such as Google Desktop Search). This is an integration was a success and we would like to discuss this further with Google in order to properly represent it on the Google website."

"In a company where employees are knowledge workers, having a powerful yet familiar search interface to find information across multiple repositories and websites is critical. The Google appliance provides this for us. Also, our partner channel and the general public has the same power and we can manage the indexing and implement security on our own thus making it much better than indexing from a service provider. "

"After more than 20 years, Intuit continues to transform business and financial management for small businesses, accounting professionals and consumers by offering a broad array of specially designed industry-specific business management solutions and money management tools. As our company grows to over 7000 employees and our products and services grow to the hundreds, the number one challenge for us on the web has been visibility of our offerings. With our past search engine, the two biggest obstacles in this were deployment speed and results relevancy. Our past search engine required Meta tags on every single page so adoption throughout the company was slow. After four years we had only integrated eight websites and some of our biggest sites such as TurboTax.com and Quicken.com had not come on board due to the labor involved. With the Google Search Appliance we're now able to perform all the crawling without any internal customer interaction, and some search development can now be performed by our Rapid Deployment Team streamlining the work involved to bring another internal customer on board to our Google Search Appliance. Search results relevancy however could be the largest reason why we made the move to the Appliance. Our past tool counted word or string instances. That's it. So routinely FAQ pages that were most likely to contain the most words were displayed at the top and our ecommerce product offering pages which don't contain a lot of content were not even appearing in the search results at all. With features like directory crowding, duplicate filtering and title and link weighting our end customers are now able to see a broad spectrum of our product offerings on every single search page. In just over one year since we've release the Google Appliance we've gone from crawling only eight of our sites to over fifty. And we've accomplished that without increasing our support staff!"

"First started using Google search on MediaWiki software because the built-in search was very weak. I first integrated a small Google SA with MediaWiki so that the search was totally seemless. The code and such for this is documented on MediaWiki's Meta website (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Google_Search-2). We have dozens of wikis using this integrated search. When building a new website, I decided that I wanted the power and standard of Google. We purchased a mini and it took me less than an hour to install and setup. I only needed to adjust some filtering to avoid duplicate pages when indexing phpBB software. It is running great - I used almost exactly the same coding for the search results that I used on the wikis: just changed the styling. I receive XML in my script queries, then transform it using custom XSLT derived from the Google standard XSLT. I've also received many messages as well as questions from people using my MediaWiki extension script - one guy even purchased a Mini so that he could use my script for a new website he's building. The mini is awesome - thanks for a great product!"

"Iphos and our Google universal search Experience

Iphos provides innovative software and e-business solutions for a wide range of clients. One of them is the Allianz Group, one of the world's leading insurers and financial services providers. We have been working with their Austrian websites for several years.

The main problem with the previous search tool on their sites was that the information is stored in many different places on various servers and systems, which made it difficult to provide a comprehensive, and cost-effective search across the network. This meant that some results were shown more than once, and other pages were not displayed at all. In addition the Allianz public internet contains a lot of PDF documents which could not be searched through with the previous tool. The users had to deal with a poor search system and our customer wasn't satisfied.

But then fortunately along came Google Mini!

Google Mini not only made the search get faster, but more importantly it improved the quality of the search tremendously! Search results are now summarized which means no double, triple or quadruple findings, but spot-on results. In addition, PDF documents on the sites can now be searched as well which leads to more relevant results.

Using Google Mini offers advanced searching capabilities that were previously not possible and the extensive statistics offer plenty of possibilities for the Allianz marketing department. The speed and quality of the search function now meet the expectations of the Allianz Group and are realized in a very cost and time effective way.

We at Iphos enjoyed the fast and simple way that Google Mini could be implemented and love the speed and functions it delivers right out of the box. Customizing the layout was possible in a matter of hours and maintenance is hardly necessary.

So, in conclusion: Google Mini = Maximum joy for all concerned!"

Michael Achatz

"We have used Google Mini to allow our customers to search five different pieces of information scattered on different websites - Online Help, User Forums, Knowledge Base and two sets of documentation for advanced users. Customers now can help themselves rather than contacting our Technical Support. After two months, the number of technical support cases are 40% lower than before - and our customers are happier because they can get answers instantly without having to wait for support to reply. We have also created a separate collection to allow prospects to search our corporate website for product and related information."

"We originally had an in house written search and spider, but this was inefficient and only had very basic search algorithms. With the cost of the Google Mini it made no sense to develop this on further when we could get the google server - giving us all the features we wanted to develop, and more, for a fraction of the development cost."

"Very easy to to install and easy to use."

Technical Officer, Technical Officer

"Jadu develop content management and web based information systems for UK Government. We implmented the Google Mini to test its compaitibility with our content systems and were very happy with the result. So much so, that we now recommend the Google Mini and Appliance to our Government partners. We have sucessfully persuaded 4 UK Local Authorities to implement the Google Mini this year."

"Will do when deployed"

Great search engine!

"Over the past year, our firm launched 32 country websites in multiple languages to showcase our globally integrated commercial real estate services. Google Mini offered an efficient solution to index the multilingual content on all of our sites. Not only did we save a lot of time and resources by using an out-of-the-box application, but now we are able to realize the benefits of Google’s powerful and proven search tools. With Google Mini we can report on the most commonly searched-for phrases, which helps us ensure that we provide the most desired content to our users. It also reports on any broken links on our sites – an extremely valuable tool allowing us to keep user frustration to a minimum."

"We are using the Google mini to index all of the US Supreme Court decisions since v.1. It took us an hour to set up the machine and get the search up and running."

"Great tool! Used to track Sales, Marketing, and other Internal documents. The google-mini has combined several other web based search engines into a single result set."

Glen Epperson, IT Director

"As the intranet for the world's leading provider of lifelong education with operations around the globe, we had several thousand pieces of crucial documents and articles which were key for our employees to have quick access to. Of critical importance was the ability for our search to index the contents of any document we posted, and to do so quickly and accurately, and the Google Mini did both seamlessly almost right out of the box. We've seen an increase in our intranet searches since we've launched the Mini and have received a positive amount of feedback that our intranet is now searched by the search engine they trust the most."

"We bought it for our intranet- and the staff LOVE it- and i work with librarians- so you know the search has got to be great- we loved how quickly it arrived- and it was really easy to set up- when you ship my next google box can i please get a white goolge tshirt? We love your product!!"

"The Google Mini is deployed as "skunk"project (low profile, high potential). Currently succesfully used to make the ICT Architecture principles, standards and statement of directions plus ICT governance processes widely known (!!)."

"With the Google Mini we are now able to find documents that we thought had disappeared."

Koenen Baak en Partners

"Our old web site search did not return results like we expected them to. The Google Mini returns much more accurate results and allows us the flexibility to insert KeyWord matches which is a huge benefit. With some clever use of subcollections and XSLT stylesheets we can deliver search for multiple web sites. The ability to view reports on searches is also helpful as it allows us to see what people are really looking for and adjust accordingly. We are very pleased with our Google Mini."

"We'd previously never had a search function on our site. However, with such a large site, it was the one thing that our visitors have been crying out for. We looked at the idea of building our own search function but thought why spend the time and money when we could buy in a Google mini for a very reasonable cost. We hooked the mini up easily to our site and have totally customized the look and feel of the search pages so that no-one would have a clue that it wasn't powered by us. The other added bonus was that we discovered that we could run the mini on all of our other websites too...the reasonable cost suddenly became very cheap!! So far our tests are showing very relevant results. We launch the new site in dec...can't wait to see the results"

"We were using the IIS and Commerce Server Site Indexing for search results before we switched to the Google Mini Appliance. We were unable to find our trademarked products such as ThriftyBanner because it was all one word. Your appliance, after learning our products, now give keyword spelling choices to help guide our customers to the right products. We also love the feature to add KeyMatch results. This allows us to promote products and services to push our end users to the products they are looking for and request."

"Historically, the depth and breadth of the Lightbulb Press content library made it very cost prohibitive and difficult for us to index and deploy custom changes. After implementing Google Mini, our staff quickly understood how to best utilize its features and benefits since they were already familiar with Google Search. By making Google Mini a fundamental part of the Lightbulb infrastructure, we are now able to better respond to our clients' needs by accessing the right content with the right information in a timely, accurate fashion. This not only saves time but saves money. Today, Google Mini effectively supports our growth as we broaden our reach to the consumer marketplace. At the end of the day, Lightbulb Press benefits by having a b internal support system with Google Mini and our clients benefit by getting what they want when they want it. It's a win-win thanks to Google Mini. Lightbulb Press is a leader in innovative web development, digital and print content solutions. We cater to companies, large and small, looking for unbiased, value-added educational and informative content to use for brand-building, customer acquisition, advocacy outreach and sales campaigns. Our commitment to excellence has earned us a reputation as the "go-to" content resource for companies looking to make a powerful impact."

Data organization & ease of implementing the Mini

"We needed to find a way to index our minitry's documents on the intranet. We find a good solution with the GoogleMini Server : Quick, easy, effective!"

"We were previously using Freefind as our website's search engine, but the problem was that searches were just not turning up good results. Often times, the page that should have been on top, would be on in 6th place or on the second page. Upon receiving the Google Mini, we did an initial configuration and crawl (without really knowing what we were doing) and the results had improved ten fold. Furthermore, upon fine tuning the Mini, setting up Key Matches, and setting up subcollections, search results are now what they always should have been. Customers are finding much more relevant information now and staying on our site longer, instead of abandonning it after an unsuccessful, and probably frustrating, search."

"The deployment of the Google Mini was so painless, we were able to successfully integrate into our website redevelopment project without changing our deadline - we expected to add it in afterwards. Now our subscribers benefit from Google power and we can spend time on other projects."

"Medical students and residents find it challenging to find good medical images from which to learn. A typical textbook may only have one or two radiologic images of a particular disease or finding (i.e. like volvulus or apical caps). We used a Google mini to spider 25,000 radiologic images and their readings. In our first search on volvulus, we found 40 images - more than any textbook in medicine. We are now moving to the enterprise edition to spider 500,000 images, CT scans, MRIs, VQ scans and more to create the largest, internal, medical image teaching library ever available for learning."
