"Being the country's largest privately owned fine wine and spirits merchant, with approximately one hundred and fifty stores (from Tallahassee to Miami) and fifteen hundred employees the need to find products and information is paramount. With our Google Appliance we are able to easily serve those needs of our stores and other support personnel."

"It took us only three days to set it up despite we used Google Mini XML results and XML parser on our websites to customize the search (you can do it much quicker by using the standard HTML interface supplied by Google Mini itself). Our staff were delighted by the difference in quality of results compared to our old search, and we are sure it will be the same with our visitors."

"As an ISP and Web Host, we are excited about offering the power of the Google Mini to our website hosting customers at an affordable monthly rate. We keep the network and hardware running smoothly and they just upload their documents. Instant power search! The reaction has been terrific."

"We'd been struggling with a home-grown search tool that just didn't provide the indexing and features we needed to give our site visitors the relevant search results they were looking for. After looking at a few options in the market, we ordered and installed the Google Mini. Using the feature that returns search results in XML, we were able to customize the output to blend perfectly into the existing design of our site. The setup and customization was fast and easy, and the positive feedback from several departments on campus has been great."

"The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) is an 118,000+ member national organization serving the radiologic sciences profession with an unwavering commitment to patient safety. Serving the general public and a society this large poses an immense responsibility to providing its Web site visitors with quick and accurate access to information such as continuing education, patient care, latest research, and news as well as industry trends. After reviewing several solutions for a robust and scalable site search solution, including building our own, the ASRT discovered the Google Mini. With its ability to configure search results to a very granular level, ASRT decided that this attention to detail and customer satisfaction would be an equitable extension of our own philosophies of practice. Preliminary post-install trends are showing that the number of phone calls from visitors unable to find information to ASRT’s Customer Information team has decreased significantly. To say the least, ASRT is quite happy with the results so far…and who else to call on for results but Google!"

"The Google Mini provides useful search results! A huge improvement over our previous Microsoft Index Server search which was functionally useless for finding what you are looking for."

"Much faster search, more relevant results, able to customize completely to what we want, re-indexed nightly without putting processing load on our servers, can sell KeyMatch searches to suppliers on our site, great reports. Like, duh!"

"We've had an e-commerce site since 1998 but have never been satisified with any of our search options. Our Google Mini was added late in the summer of '05...what a difference! The Mini finds everything we want it to, and it's fast! We already see an increase in multi-sale orders, meaning people are searching our site more effectively and finding just what they are looking for."

"Our client, a lawyer, had large numbers of legal documents, legislation and regulations he wanted to make accessible to his staff and his clients. He needed speed, result prioritizing and above all, something easy to use. The Google Mini appeared to offer him everything he needed including the opportunity to upgrade if he wishes. Integration of the Google Mini into his website and intranet was a breeze for us and our client is thrilled about being able to get quality search results in a fraction of a second."

Tony Jackson, Director

"Scottish Food and Drink is a Scottish Enterprise project with the site developed by Calligrafix, Scotland. Calligrafix investigated different search solutions and settled on the Google Mini for searching through site documents as well as the webpages which are dynamically created from our information management system. The users have the familiar google interface with the results wrapped in the look and feel of the site so they don't feel as if they have been shunted off to an external site. The solution works well and reduces load on the web server where the previous search solutions resided."

"Our Google Mini helped us make church information easier to find and allowed for easier indexing of our audio assets."

"ENGLISH: Search and find what we were looking for is one of the key things in the real life and also in the web. For this reason we have decided to substitute our old search engine, not very well performing anymore, with Google Mini. Now our users could finally find the proper information in the huge amount of data and documents available for the citizens in our governmental organization. ITALIAN: Cercare una risposta e trovarla facilmente è una delle cose fondamentali nella vita quotidiana e crediamo che lo sia anche in Internet. È questo il motivo per cui abbiamo deciso di sostituire il nostro vecchio motore di ricerca, ormai non più performante, con Google Mini. Ora i nostri utenti possono trovare facilmente le informazioni che cercano nella miriade di dati e documenti dell’organizzazione governativa."

"This has been in just a week and the amount of time saved when searching through our documents has paid for this device already!"

"We had been using a database search tool for our eCommerce web site that frustrated our sales staff and visitors to our site no end. Typically the search tool was (and is) used to locate products on our web site. Many times the 'search term' like the product code is incomplete or is descriptive and the database search tool was too literal (generating incorrect or too broad of results...or even worse: no results). We needed a way of bridging site navigation to adapt to the specific user and make their visit as productive as possible. We looked into many solutions but the Google Mini was the best bang for the buck. It provides much more relevant results especially when the search criteria is broad. It's features are amazing and the set up is very simple. It's certainly increased the conversion ratio and helped visitors find the specific product they are looking for without having to call our sales staff."

"Prior to using the Google Mini our customers had great difficulty finding specific types of products. Now they can easily refine their search criteria and locate (and buy) the product they're searching for."

"Easily to install and configure, we were up and running in 15 minutes and fully indexed in 1 hour. Search results are close to perfect every time!"

Christopher Johnson

"C.V.T.C. has a large Intranet and a new web portal. We have been struggling to find and efficient way to allow users to search for Intranet content in an efficient manner. We did some research and the Google Mini sounded like exactly what we needed. We installed the Mini and had the first search occuring within 6 hours. This product has done exactly what it advertised it would do. "

"The keymatch system has helped increase awareness of special promotions that people might not otherwise have found. It lets me put offers in front of the people who are directly interested in them. So far, the average order size of people who click on keymatch results and purchase is double the average order size of other orders."

"Successfully implemented GSA to index all public facing web sites."

"One of the largest consumer data/networking companies in the world."

"The City of Fredericton is a ISO 9001:2000 registered organization, and as such, documenting everything we do in a Quality Management system is critical to the success of our ISO certification. Our QMS system has grown to include thousands of documents, all required to run our City. Google Mini Search has made a world of difference for accessing our forms, check lists, work instructions, policies and procedures. Thanks Google, you rock."

"Google Mini easily integrated with our existing IT infrastructure and provides far better advanced features, fast and categorized results than our previously used search engine."

"The Mini had no trouble indexing our website with over 50,000 dynamic pages. Given a single Collection we could still support our very complex security model. We do this by filtering the XML returned from the Mini before we pass it on to the end-user. This replaced our old system of database based SQL Full Text index searching, which was much slower, didn't work as well with HTML formatted files, and returned less relevant results."

Phillip Holmstrand

"Our Google Mini seamlessly interfaced with the search function on our website and has greatly enhanced the search ability of our users. We rely heavily on .pdf files for committee meetings and city council minutes. The box makes us look good!"

Bill Stephens, Bill Stephens

"So far even in test mode the search box is returning more relevant products of my website than my current search algorithm. For example when a customer searched for the keywords Ice Machine the search results brought back Slicer Machines; because apparently the word ice is the word SLice. But the Google Mini Box can distinguish this. I love it. "

Rifki Bekdemir

"College Pharmacy is one of the most experienced and comprehensive compounding centers in the United States. We have been recognized for over 30 years for our expertise in providing uncommon solutions to common problems. We work collaboratively with medical & health organizations, prescribers & their patients to provide the best possible therapy options available. Having a Google Mini on our team has enabled us to serve as an invaluable source of information to prescriber's and patients alike...without the hassle of sifting through irrelevant results and ads. "

"We currently have the appliance indexing 20,000 + documents that is used by the organisation for Product development and Business Information. The system was rolled out through Active Directory and has had a very postive influence on the way we find information. Top marks!!"

"We're delighted that the Mini enables our native site search to work exactly like Google itself, with the same relevance of results, the same spelling correction feature, and the same clean-and-simple interface. The ease of deploying the Mini was just icing on the cake. "

Tom Davey

"CouponChief.com is a directory of online coupons and promotional codes to over 1,000 web retail stores. Our homegrown search was basic in functionality and rarely returned relevant coupons to our users. Since deploying our mini, we've seen a 200% increase in successful searches, but the real benefit will come from the loyalty of discount shoppers who find it easy to search for the coupons they want. Relying on the Google Mini for our site search means we can focus on providing deals to our visitors."

"We are now able to filter the searches to the topics that people actually want instead of unrelated material"

"Rolled out to fulfill a need to find all of our internal documentation."

"We had been using an open-source solution for years. We'd seen spotty results from a technical standpoint, and our marketing team always expressed more of a desire to control over influencing those results. Almost overnight after the Mini was racked we were able to perform a crawl, and within a week we were confident enough to switch out the old search engine within a campus template."

"The first reason: We where looking for a search solution that provided service over our different data bases and also through our XML and HTLM web pages. Google Mini it’s the solution. We have more than 80.000 legal and official documents and our clients must get all the information that web provided quickly. The information that we provided are laws, legal documents and official information. "

"Before we purchase our Google Mini mini we were using htdig which worked "ok". Now with the Google Mini our users are able to quickly and easily find the information they are looking for. One of the features we like best is the automated spell check feature. If our users accidentally misspell something it corrects them and directs them to the proper information instead of them thinking we do not have any information on their subject. We have had tons of positive response from our users and we are very happy with the performance of our Google Mini. "

"Since the integration of the Google Mini with our website, our customers find what they are using search 90% more often. The Mini has reduced the amount of phone calls we receive from customers who could not find what they were looking for. We also have a much improved conversion rate on sales that started with a search. The mini is 1000 times better than our shopping cart's original search functionality."

"Drake & Cavendish list luxury hotels in over 700 resorts in over 200 countries. The site now features an ever growing list of more than 5,000 luxury hotels and navigating to the right hotel was becoming a frustrating experience for our users. The Google Mini provides a fantastic user experience to drill down to the information needed. The spelling tool is superb, hotels around the world have weird and wonderful names which simply didn't show up using our old search function. Now they are displayed for all to see. Superb stuff Google, keep up the great work."

"The speed is amazing. What I would normally have to wait 5 or more minutes for Windows to perform the search, the Google mini does in under a second. Not to mention how much more content the mini searches, it is a real asset to the company."

Bruce McCully, President

"The Google Mini has improved traffic to our site by the community of users of the products we represent finding out that we are allowing users easy access to the huge wealth of information we provide on Microsoft Dynamics CRM software and all the add-ons and implementation and development services we offer and broker for the global Dynamics CRM user community."

"Once we got the mini rolled out and proved the usability, we immediately were flooded with new documents for the crawler to index and our cross-functional collaboration was made that much simpler. Thanks."

"We deployed the Google Mini on our intranet to search our corporate email systems. We had the entire system in place in a few hours, and are now considering expanding our Mini's reach to include more intranet content. Thanks Google!"

"The Mini allows Best Buy's vendors to search their Supplier Portal quickly and efficiently for the documents they need. Setup was a breeze and Best Buy staff runs the admin portion. The Mini's a coup."

"When we ordered the Google Mini, the search engine running on our internal website had some serious problems. We were able to quickly install and configure the Mini to replace and dramatically improve our existing search capability. Once other departments saw how easy it was to find documents on our website, we ended up using the Mini to search their web pages as well."

"Being a High-Tech Manufacturer, offering thousands of products, our main audience are Engineers which need to find technical information on our site fast. We prev. used an open source search engine which did't provide what we needed - e.g. search for terms. Now the mini offers much better search, everybody knows how google works anyway so there is no leaning curve and with the clever use of META Tags and a customized stylesheets, our search results even display product images..."

"ESAB was faced with having two different search interfaces for their online catalog and company web site. While moving forward with a brand new web design and content management system, marketing knew that the best solution for the customer was to merge these two search interfaces. Ten minutes after opening the Google Mini box, we had our single interface. It was easy to set up and was indexing both the catalog and the new web site into one collection for searching. We are very pleased with the Google Mini solution."

Steve Lindsay and Danny Young, Steve Lindsay and Danny Young

"The google mini has increased our search results converting into increased sales."

"Implementing Google Mini solved a host of issues that we had encountered with our home-grown search engine solution. The use of the subcollections has allowed us to implement search technology that is representative of all of our content, not just what Indexing Service was able to look at. We are thrilled with the prospect of being able to provide our patients and customers with a search engine that will make their experience on our website better, faster and more effective. Not to mention the fact that our users are able to use the standard features such as spell check and spelling suggestions that they have come to expect from Google."

"eVitamins needed an affordable search solution that was built on world class technology. We chose the Google Mini for a number of different reasons. We have been thrilled with the results. Implementing the Google Mini was easier then expected. We highly recommend it."

"A great way to pull together our numerous local Internet sites."

"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."

"We needed an easy to implement search solution to go with the redesign of our website. The Google Mini was perfect. With its low cost and easy integration, it was setup with little difficulty."

Webmaster

"The Google Mini appliance allowed us to quickly and easily deploy a search tool for our internal employees to search thousands of company documents. Search results are accurate and very fast. Our users love the mini!"

"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."

"See www.gioie.it and try a search"

"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. "

R.J. Pittman, CEO

"We are using the Google Mini to search our documentation, customer services tickets and internal file server."

"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."

"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."

Director of IT Development, 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."

Art O'Coileain & Google, IT Technician - Network Security

"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. "

"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."

"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 service public policy think tanks and the content they hold is widely varied and in multiple formats. The appliance has been tremendous in aiding our clients in presenting relevant search results, and has increased our business as a result"

Michael Rae

"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."

"Successful deployment of the 8008 for a US government customer to index their unclassified assets."

"We just starting using the Google mini and it has already been getting rave reviews from our subscribers who were often frustrated with our previous search capabilities."

"This Mini was purchased to provide search capabilities for a Civil War documentation project for the State of Tennessee. There are over 7,600 PDF articles about the Civil War in Tennessee"

Data organization & ease of implementing the Mini

"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 it 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."

"We use the Google Mini to index our website's content, software knowledge base, our user manual and online forum. Deployment of the Mini was simple and efficient; we have hard data to support it has enhanced our sales processes and support infrastructure."

"Using the reporting from the Mini we were able to see breakpoints in our information architecture. By seeing exactly what people are search for we were able to tailor our Information architecture to better serve our customer's needs. "

"Our Google Mini provides visitors of our newly redesigned corporate website with a fast and reliable site search tool. Installation and configuration was a snap, and the Mini requires very little administrative overhead."

Eric B.

"Around 12,000 pages of the existing intranet were audited and culled, both a new intranet and personally configurable staff portal built to facilitate intuitive navigation and fast access to the information required by the individual. The GSA was the icing on the cake, allowing staff to locate policies, procedures, catalogues, presentations and all other corporate information published to the intranet."

Stuart Halson

"Our "home-grown" search was hit-or-miss. Often, our own customer service department would abandon using our internal search and just use www.google.com to find things on our own website. So, the google mini-appliance was a perfect fit for our web team."

"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."

"A cheap and quick-and-dirty search engine/service in a portal for the local public administration."

"The Google Mini has saved our business thousands of dollars in Programming a database search engine. We use our Google Mini to allow our shoppers to access the products they are looking for on all of our sites. Our customers have told us that they are now able to find the product they want easier."

Jeremy Simon

"Many visitors of our site (www.nhcc.edu) use search as their main navigation method. Having a reliable, flexible, and powerful search solution was critical for our mission success and Google Mini met and exceeded our expectations. Every aspect of our search enhancement project – from installation to search results customization and scheduled indexing – was very smooth and the product certainly helps us create a better user experience. Alex Minakov, Web Systems"

"We are using Google Mini to supply the search facilities to a number of websites run across the Norwich BioSciences Institutes (John Innes Centre & Institute of Food Research)."

"Allowed faster caching & retrieval of stored pages for Corporate Action Announcements. These are public domain announcements requiring specific crawl and 'collection domain' knowledge. Users of the service will be able to preview customized xlst syle sheets using CUSIP/ISIN lookup."

EAMON MOORE

"The Google Search Appliance has allowed OldRide Customers to search across many different channels of OldRide data quickly and easily."

"We've tried a number of software search solutions over the years but none of them had the power to work on our site. With our growing content of CD Reviews, Music Equipment and industry opinions, we needed a way for site visitors to find what they were looking for and stay at OnlineRock. The Google Mini is helping us achieve those goals."

Steve Beck, Steve Beck

"We provide each of our clients with a password-protected private web page so they can see the status of their pending patent and trademark applications. One of our clients has so many pending applications that they find it difficult to remember which application is which. We set up a Google Mini for them on their private page, and now they can use Google-style searches to find the files they are looking for."

Carl Oppedahl, partner

"Before our use of Google Mini, our web search results were based on incident number of the keywords on a page. This provided links that ranked highly (like manual PDFs), but were not that relevant to the person browsing. The Google Mini produces results that are the most sensible and most relevant."

Joseph Przechocki, Product Marketing Manager

"Sales increased and complaints about not being able to find things on the site went to zero"

"The Google mini allows our users to explore both our eCommerce site and our Discussion Forum web site, resulting in a more complete search, and more traffic for our Discussion Forum site."

Jim Ewald, IT Admin

"System was integrated to take on the indexing tasks of our main web presence, library, and athletics sites. Results are displayed with a modified XSLT stylesheet. Already seen marked improvements of results for simple searches."

"Absolutely astounding. At Platinum Studios, "Ploogle" is an essential tool, putting mountains of media at everyone's fingertips. There is no before and after, there is just the working office."

"The Google Mini has allowed us to provide better access the massive amount of content posted on our web sites."

"We set up the Google Mini for a client of ours. Setup took all of 2 hours, and the client now has a first-rate search tool. Plus, they're saving thousands of dollars a year over the hosted solution they were previously using."

"Refer to Gartner Article "Progress Energy Simplifies Its Site Search Strategy", Case Study CS-19-7657."

"Slicker, more relevant search results for our tens of thousands of visitors daily. Big success!"

"It does exactly what it says on the box. Installed, customized and running within a day. Highly recommended."

Jeff Buck

"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. "

"Works very well. Easy to set up and configure. Lots of useful additional features. Higly recommended!"

"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!"

CTO, CTO

"Thanks to Google and our fantastic IT team we've made a great success of our google-mini!!"

"So far so good. Just getting started."

Jim Carroll

"We need a quick and reliable search solution to increase customer satisfaction by providing accurate information "on demand". With google mini we've found the right solution."

Project Manager

"Easy integration with our content management system!"

"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."

"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."

"First governmental entity in Washington State (maybe nation?) to use the Google Mini. "

"Using the Google mini has allowed us to free up time that was previously spent on custom search solutions for more web application development. Our users also have benefitted from a more robust, enhanced search experience on our web site."

"After web-enabling a shared folder and modifying some permissions we were able to "Google" our companies shared network drive."

Robert Pasuit of Key Technology Solutions

"We were using the "canned" search engine that came with our ecommerce software. It was very limited. Heck even we were frustrated with it. After 2 days of deployment of the Mini I already know it is worth the investment 10 fold. "

"I tried paid web search indexers to index my client's 60,000 page web site. The Google mini costs less than the annual fee I used to pay, and works MUCH better. Three cheers for the Google Mini."

Mark Shapiro

"The Google Mini is one of the best investments we have made for our site, TeachersParadise.com. It was very easy to customize and the dictionary/spell suggest feature is fantastic. A product like this is an immediate return on your investment. Thanks again to the Google Mini Team!"

"We had a great need for a streamlined web-based search engine to augment our online HTML-based Enterprise Help System. 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!"

"The Google Mini has easily allowed us to produce full search capabilities on our new web site. The product has been an unqualified success."

Martyn Andrews, IS/IT Manager

"TFE succesfully implemented several Google Mini's for customers such as EssentKabelcom, Gasunie, Hanzehogeschool van Groningen, MedicInfo, Amsterdam Medical Centre and many more. All of the customers are very satisfied with the huge improvement of search on their sites."

"Google Mini has allowed us to customize the search experience for our sites audience (in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese) as well as provide an effective means of searching through the numerous documents published on our site. "

"Easy to implement and configure. We now have much more reporting on our user's search patterns."

"The Robert Gordon University has now installed a new search engine appliance, known as a 'Google Mini' which is based on the well-known ‘Google’ search technology. This allows staff, students and members of the public to search the University’s web pages. The new system dramatically improves on our previous facilities for searching the website, providing results faster and more accurately, and from a wider range of RGU web servers than ever before."

Lead Web and Applications Developer

"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. "

Nick

"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."

Brian Mark

"Our Google Mini has allowed us to replace our archaic search functionality with a robust system that has increased customer retention and satisfaction, and has improved our online visibility through SEO. We have customized the Mini to integrate seamlessly and provide search for over 35,000 trails, and thousands of geographical regions on our site."

"Our mini us used to provide search indexes of Polices and Procedures, Employee Benefits, and departmental home pages. While it currently serves up fewer than 5,000 documents, the ability to search these collections using a standard, familiar user interface is invaluable."

System Services Manager, System Services Manager

"Out of the box, easy to use search engine. It is at the moment in test for an intranet site but will be placed on our home site as soon as possible. It works great"

"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"

"Currently using the google appliance to index departmental websites, 150000 Royal Society of Chemistry Journals, and integrating with our Library Catalogue."

"Our previous "smart search" technology was limited to one domain name, had an expensive support contract, little documentation, was difficult to customize, and required ongoing maintenance and optimization. The Google Mini delivers better results, has been deployed across 18 global sites, with few maintenance requirements."

"The Google Mini was a breeze to setup and provides insightful information regarding searches of our website while bringing the power of Google to our visitors."

Jason Bradley, MCSA, CCNA

"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. Users can search an individual memoir or the entire database of biographies in a split second. Easy to set-up and deploy, it works great and we highly recommend it!"

Greg Elgort, CTO, Co-Founder

"The Google mini has greatly improved the ability to search through content and doing it fast. The KeyMatch function is especially useful when there may be somewhat obscure information that we want to highlight based on a commonly used search term. The subcollections function is also helpful."

"Xitron customers and dealers are now able to more quickly locate the specific topic or content they require thanks to the addition of the Google Mini. Prior to the deployment of the Google Mini, our users may have had to search several sections to locate the specific detail they required. With the search results provided by the Google Mini, users are able to quickly find the information they require. Using the search data collected by the Google Mini, Xitron has been able to customize our content to meet the needs of our users. We feel the use of the Google Mini has enhanced the experience on the website for both Xitron staff and our users."

Bill Owens

"We use the Mini in conjunction with Google Analytics for our clients, and it's fantastic! Setup is a snap, the crawls finish quickly, and the site search reports are incredibly useful. Worth every penny."
