"The College website serves as a conduit for multimedia course materials, providing a platform for text, images, audio, and video used in instruction. In addition, the website is the backbone for the College’s marketing and communications program and contributes directly to increasing and insuring student retention, building enrollments in both degree and continuing education programs, and showcasing the College’s resources - Art Gallery, Performing Arts Center and Holocaust Resource Center. Finding what you need, when you need it, fast is imperative, and the Google Mini provides that for our website users and visitors. "

"We utilize a 3rd party company for maintaining a large amount of historical, project and research data. As much as we liked this arrangement, the search engine left a lot to be desired. By implementing the Google Mini, we are now able to quickly index, sort and find the right information the first time. Google's search technology is by far the best we have encountered."

"We deployed our Google mini in hopes of improving results from guest searches of our site. The results exceeded our expectations; the ability to customize the search results to fit our needs has proven invaluable! It's worth noting that the entire deployment, from the arrival of the box to finished product delivering working, customized search results using the XML interface, was 3 man-days. Thanks, Google!"

"SFI's website serves thousands of event listings, bios, news items, publications and working papers. Our staff and researchers publish especially in PDF and Postscript, but a variety of other formats. We needed a search solution that could easily fit into the new CSS web site design, and we had a tough deadline. With the google mini in a few hours time we had indexed all our content and integrated the search results into our new site design using the XSLT feature of the google mini. The google mini is also helping us to fix up bad links and find areas of the website that need work. The google mini also looks cool but it was a relief to move into the server room because of so many questions from co-workers about how it works and what it does!"

"Search is a critical component of a successful intranet. Our intranet serves at least 600,000 unique business documents and with personal sites, development content and other non-centralized content factored in, the true size exceeds 2 million documents in our index. Employees need effective search to be able to find relevant information and to make sense of it. Poor search breeds information silos; people have a hard time comprehending or even knowing where to look amongst such a vast quantity of content. The quality search provided by our GSA takes us a long way towards putting information at your fingertips. Easy access to the entire corpus of knowledge created by such a large enterprise makes SAS a more efficient and intelligent enterprise. The direct savings of time and effort due to effective search makes SAS employees more efficient and effective by quickly delivering the information our employees need in their daily work. Best of all, our users enjoy using the Google technology and we receive a steady stream of compliments for adding the search engine to our intranet. The Google Search Appliance has exceeded our expectations of what a true universal search solution should deliver!"

"We're using the mini as an extension to our content management system. It was an easy implementation and the use of subcollections and the xml interface allows us to use the appliance for sites of different customers."

"As a company specialized in developing, building and maintaining websites successfully integrated the Google Mini (Version 1.0) as a search back-end for our internally developed content management system. Our content management system is developed in Adobe / Macromedia Coldfusion and communicates with the Google Mini using the XML interface. By giving each of our CMS instances or languages its own subcollection we were able to use the Mini for a large number of websites. Before implementing the Mini we already completely optimized HTML and other documents for use in search engines (like Google ;)). This makes the crawls easy and the results intuitive. With a crawl / index every 24 hours we were also able to check if any links within the managed sites return a 404 not found."

"In the competitive public relations space, the ability to quickly respond to a clients needs or propose innovations to a potential client is a requirement for success. Unfortunately, the corporate knowledge necessary is typically stored on personal computers, various office servers, and in the heads of hard to reach key people in different locations. After years of growth by acquisition, global PR firm Cohn & Wolfe (part of the Young & Rubicam / WPP family) found itself unable to fully capitalize on the corporate knowledge they had grown or acquired. Silicon Spaces knowledge portal "The Den" utilizes the Google Search Appliance to bring together documents and files (such as strategy papers, industry analysis, and campaign management best practices) from anywhere on their network in an easy to find, easy to use, localized fashion. The Dens Expertise Finder helps users identify and contact other employees with specialized skills or knowledge. The Den has resulted in better served, happier clients through a culture of collaboration, as well as, a greatly simplified process of integrating newly acquired agencies."

"We were originally using a software based search that was a very unfriendly solution. It was difficult to set-up, hard to monitor and the reporting was not all that helpful. I did some searching and although I had never considered a hardware based solution before, I decided to give the Mini a try. We received the box within three days and I had it up and running in about a week. It was very easy to set up and after a few small tweaks, the spidering took only 40 minutes. I did have some questions about the setup and they were very promptly answered by an email to your engineers. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Google Mini. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat and will tell others who are looking for a good internal search solution about it."

Your Google Mini has been instrumental in adding the Google search capabilities to our custom help system. The Google Mini is being used on the following site: http://help.pointforce.com but we only like to make this site known to our Enterprise customers!"

"We needed a good search solution and we began looking at various software solutions out in the field. Most were phenomenal in thier listed functionality, but their price points were too high for our needs. We found the Google Mini and realized we could order two for redundancy and still come in at a tenth of the cost of other solutions without having to sacrifice on core features. The functionality was there, the configuration was straightforward, and the financial math was easy. We went with the Mini and have been serving successful searches ever since!"

"Adding and modifying searches are virtually effortless now. Especially with the keymatch interface. We can immediately add names to files that we see are being serached on by using the reporting tool. It means that users get immediate access to the files they seek on our site, using the terms they most frequently search on. We can't say enough about the Google Mini."

"We were able to use the mini in coordination with our internally developed event search to provide comprehensive and intelligent site coverage. This has been a big plus for our site. "

"We were able to not only depoly the Mini in a few days, but it is now possible for people searching on our tool site to find the parts they need on our second site. We did some modifications for the KeyMatches as well and have a much more customized system which our vendors are now interested in advertising on. The first few we set up have made a difference in how people find some of our products, and they're great for upselling at the time of search. By using the XML interface, we've been able to track the search phrases and the number of results returned. We can quickly see the phrases that aren't returning any results and make changes as we need to quickly and with minimal effort. This has let to more successful searches and more relevance on our site. The Mini will easily pay for itself within a few months."

"Toolfetch is one of the largest ecommerce companies focused on the Construction Supply Industry. Toolfetch.com offers a wide variety of high end construction, industrial tool equipment and supplies to industry professionals across the world. In order to further our sales and shopping experience on Toolfetch we knew we needed to have a fully functional site search engine that would be familiar to a customer, user friendly and have functionality as if they were searching through Google itself. We use the Google mini on the Toolfetch ecommerce website to provide our customer base with a user-friendly search tool that will help them find product information quickly and more efficiently. Being priced at a reasonable $3,000 the Google mini paid for itself in less than a month. The number of searches on Toolfetch.com is up 50% since the new search application was added, and sales are up 25%. About 40% of searches that returned no results were due to misspellings the former site search couldn't reconcile; searches that return no results due to misspellings have been entirely eliminated. The average time a customer spends on the website is up 15% over the past eight months, giving customer's greater ability to find more products and product information. The Google mini was a major part in the April 06 launch of the newly designed Toolfetch website. We have also enhanced the Google results page to show images of our products to further the shopping experience on Toolfetch.com and it has increased our sales even further.

"After researching many search solutions which were either too expensive and inadequate, we were pleased when we heard about the Google Mini. The same quality search results (relevancy) and user experience (speed and simplicity) that has made Google a household name, has worked very well for us since our implementation."

Jonathan Lam, Web Manager

"We are a non-profit organization with a relatively small IS staff. Our site, however, is fairly large and contains a great many documents and forms (many in PDF format) that our users (who number in the millions) require easy access to. We simply did not have the staff to write our own search engine when we redesigned our site from scratch earlier this year. Of all of the alternatives out there (commercial or otherwise), the Google Mini was the only solution that would integrate seemlessly given our new Web site architecture. The power and speed of this appliance is unparalleled for the price. We are very satisfied customers."

"Google Mini is used to search electronic textbooks at the University of Oklahoma for engineering students at www.eCourses.ou.edu. Previously, students had to go through chapters and sections (similar to a print book) to find the topic of interest. It has been a great help to students to find information for their engineering classes (topics currently include Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Math, and Fluids). This is a public site and all textbooks are open to the public without cost"

"Vacations Made Easy is an Internet-based travel company that provides vacation packages in over 100 destinations, as well as a wealth of helpful information. Since our inception in 2001, we've been busy adding more and more information for our customers, and with such growth, were in dire need of a powerful tool such as The Google Mini. Nearly two years ago we implemented a Google Mini on our site, and the results have certainly been felt. With over 100,000 pages indexed, and more than 30,000 searches performed per month, it was literally costing us money not to have The Google Mini. Being that most travelers will visit areas foreign to them, it's not uncommon for travelers to only have a vague idea of the name of a particular product they'd like to book. With our old system, an incorrect spelling or paraphrasing of a particular name would yield no results, and send our customers to the next travel site. However, with Google Mini our customers need only know a few key words within the name of an attraction or hotel, and they'll easily be able to find what they're searching for. Not only has this saved us from losing potential customers, but has also done wonders in making our site all the more effective for vacation planning. It should also be noted that Google Mini's multi-lingual capabilities have turned out to be a blessing for us as well. In April of 2006, VME introduced a Spanish version of its original site along with search. And while there were numerous headaches and obstacles to overcome in bringing, there were never any doubts as to how effective our search engine would be. Whether in Spanish or English, Google Mini makes our vast amount of information easily accessible. In any business there should be two core goals: satisfy your customers' needs and produce a profit. And it is definitely safe to say that in no small way Google Mini has helped us achieve both over the past two years. Thank you Google for providing the Google Mini!"

"Google has become an important addition to our CRM suite. During the due diligence phase of our CRM project someone asked: Can we build a knowledge center that is easy to search like Google? Most of our employees already use Google to search the web. So, we bought a Google mini and used it to index our internal procedural and informational documents. Now our staff has faster and easier access to the information they need to better serve our members."

"We were able to install, setup, test, implement, and deploy our internet search application in about 1 day. And by "we", I mean "me". We're a small business and besides being the owner, I'm also the web master. So, it was essential to have a scalable search solution that runs itself. I love the google mini because I can fully customize our search results. We are an e-commerce site, so we filter the results to show products, and then text-based results after that. It really has improved our customers' ability to find products on our site and it is one less thing I have to worry about trying to develop. Thanks, Google Mini!"

Bossman, Bossman

"Our new Google Mini is turning heads. Prior to our install of this appliance, our search engine was a frequent topic of our online suggestion box. The comments were not positive. This feedback was the impetus to our purchase of the Google Mini. Now, we only receive praise and admiration. Everyone loves the KeyMatch results. The students like it because they're already used to the Google format where the KeyMatch results show up on the page. Our faculty members like it because we can force a specific result that matches keywords to their program or department to appear at the top of the results page. It's turned out to be a feather in the cap of our web developer, as it has been a win-win situation."

"We deployed the Google Mini as part of the search solution for our customers biographies. It does an outstanding job indexing everything from peoples names and birthdates, to their stories, recipies and scrapbook memories.

Greg Elgort, CTO, Co-Founder

"Williams Scotsman International, Inc., a leading provider of modular space solutions provides delivery, installation, and sells new and used mobile office products. We manage large modular building projects from concept to completion with operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Spain. Early 2006, we identified issues related to search functionality within our public website and our Company Intranet site. While information was abundantly available on both sites, customers and employees experienced difficulty finding what they needed quickly and efficiently. Providing superior customer service represents one of our main goals, so the company website took priority. We researched Google's Enterprise Solutions and determined that Google Mini fulfilled our needs for improved efficiency. The affordability of Google Mini was an obvious benefit, but leveraging the technology that powers Google.com assured us quality and reliability. We were concerned that we would have to spend hours configuring the server, but within an hour it was returning accurate results. In less than two hours we were able to provide our customers with relevant search information; that's impressive. The Intranet was unorganized, inaccurate, and troublesome to navigate. We eventually deactivated the search function due to its unreliability. Late 2005, we began an overhaul that included a new design, updated content, and consistent navigation. While the user experience improved greatly, our employees still needed search capabilities to support daily work processes. The success of Mini on our external website made the solution simple. We incorporated an additional Mini throughout our Intranet. Positive employee reaction, such as "This makes my job much easier" and "The new site search tool is awesome" poured in from across the company. We look forward to partnering with Google to further explore tools that can make daily operations run even more efficiently at Williams Scotsman."
