End User Features back to top

The Google Search Appliance offers end users many of the same benefits they have come to expect from Google.com with specific enterprise enhancements that make search easy, useful and intuitive:

•  Google Quality and Ranking
  Find the highest quality and most relevant documents; Google factors in more than 100 variables for each query.
•  Dynamic Page Summaries
  Judge relevance of results more easily with dynamically generated snippets showing your query in the context of the page.
•  Results Grouping
  Navigate search results easily and clearly using intelligent grouping of documents residing in the same narrow subdirectories.
•  Automatic Spellcheck
  Avoid missing results through typos or misspellings. Google automatically suggests corrections with startling accuracy, even on company-specific words and phrases.
•  Cached Pages
  View search results even when the sites are down via cached copies of pages included in the search results.
•  Highlighted Query Terms
  Quickly find the most relevant section of a document using the highlighted query terms displayed on cached documents.
