Key Features
The Google Mini delivers results, in both intranet
and public site deployments. Learn how the Mini can help empower end
users, administrators and business
owners.
Google search quality
We’ve taken Google web search and optimized
it for use on public websites and intranets to deliver relevant
search results at
record speed.
Familiarity breeds contentment
By providing the same familiar look and feel as
Google.com, the Google Mini offers a search solution that your
users will actually use. You can weave Google into your site
design either by giving the Google Mini interface a “mini” make-over
using a built-in wizard interface, or by doing a full facelift
via the Mini’s XML feed.
Making users smarter
The Google Mini’s productivity-enhancing
extras include a self-learning spell checker, the ability to
view documents in HTML (instead of having to download plug-ins)
and accessing cached versions of documents — even the ones
that are offline.

Plug-and-play productivity
As a tightly integrated hardware and software
solution, the Google Mini requires no additional components or
tinkering to get started. The initial configuration is so streamlined
that you should be able to complete it in as little as a half-hour.
No document tagging or customization required
Google believes the technology itself—not
the site administrator—should do the heavy lifting. To
that end, the Mini’s search relevance technology automatically
considers over 100 different factors when determining search
results, eliminating the need for costly and confusing manual
search customization.
Minimal ongoing administration
Still yearning for that tropical vacation? Once
configured, the Google Mini can be set to crawl and index content
at regular intervals, so buy that plane ticket. But if you need
to make any changes or want to check in while away, the Mini’s
web-based interface gives you full remote access to all administrator
functionality.
Insight into user search behavior
The Google Mini is more than a great search experience.
It helps you improve your site usability by generating reports
on page errors and broken links, and captures your organization’s
zeitgeist by providing reports on search term frequency that
you can use to identify your users’ hot-button issues.
