Google has released a new version of its search appliance for businesses with enhanced end-user features such as personalized alerts and results ranking। Google has updated its network search hardware offering.

The new version of the Google Search GB-7007 is a hardware-and-software bundle integrates storage hardware from Dell and features a self-contained search system for managing an organization's internal electronic files. It has the ability to index and search through some 10 million documents. The box is designed to allow enterprise users to search for company documents in a similar method to that of Google's web search engine. The new version is available in five-box and 12-box rack versions.

Google's lead product manager for enterprise search wrote in a blog posting "We think that searching for the myriad of business information that helps you do your job should be as easy as searching for information on Google.com, regardless of how much content your organization has, or where it resides".

Google said it offers an alerts system that enables employees to receive emails when a new document related to topics they are interested is entered. It also allows administrators to bias results based on metadata, such as author, date of creation, department, or job function.

In addition to the larger capacity, the company said that it has increased performance speed as well as added security features and improved the quality of results. The appliance allows administrators to manage data in 27 languages and deliver search results in 40 languages. The device, which comes in a yellow rack-mount unit, is designed to replace several indexing and database servers.

Prices start at $30,000 for an entry-level version that can index 500,000 documents, and includes two years of support, hardware replacement coverage, and software updates.
