Google on Wednesday introduced Google Search Appliance customers. GSA 7.0 delivers a universal, powerfully relevant, yet simple and familiar search experience to your users.
Ten years ago, Google introduced a bright yellow “Google in a box” for enterprises, giving them one simple way to search all content within their organization.
The GSA 7.0 helps the user find information stored anywhere in your organization, whether you’re using a desktop, smartphone or tablet. Administrators can easily add content sources from secure storage, cloud services or the public web and social networking sites. GSA 7.0 also provides Google-quality search for SharePoint 2010, making for a more simple and intuitive, all-in-one search experience.
“Users are happy when they get relevant results returned quickly. At Google, speed and relevance are the core components of a great search experience. With GSA 7.0, we’ve refined our relevance signals so that the most useful information for each particular user is always easy to find”, Google said.
It said assisted navigation makes it easy to refine search results, and requires no manual configuration from administrators. Entity Recognition automatically identifies and suggests content you might be looking for, and GSA 7.0 also harnesses the “wisdom of crowds,” allowing employees to add their own search results.
More search magic for business
GSA 7.0 also adds a new set of powerful search features, such as:
Document preview, view thumbnails and flip through full-screen document previews right alongside search results.
Google Translate, secure and automatic translations display in search results, in more than 60 languages.
Updated language capabilities, including parsing the complex morphology of Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean to improve results. Expert search, tap into your organization’s knowledge graph, and instantly collaborate with colleagues who have answers.
New interface , a more beautiful search experience rolling out with the GSA 7 series.
Improved scale, a single rack of GSAs could now fit the equivalent of the entire Google.com index in 2000, 1 billion pages.
Search should help your users, not become a source of frustration, especially as the volume of corporate content grows. GSA 7.0 provides a tool that will meet your users’ expectations for relevant and universal search, no matter where they are. |
