Oscar Night for Enterprise Search

On the heels of the Oscars, we're proud to have been named the best intranet search solution of the year by Intranet Journal. It's been a year filled with hard work, as we've seen the release of brand new search appliance software, as well as nearly ten new innovations in our Enterprise Labs.

As those who tune in know, the Oscars aren't just about the movies – they're about the fashion. In some sense, the same holds true for the Google Search Appliance: It's not just about designing the best search experience possible. It's about being well put together.

Setting up an enterprise search solution has traditionally been an "unattractive" prospect: hordes of databases, ranks of whirring servers, blinking lights and backups disks, all strung together with a mass of twisting wires and cables. Not exactly suited to the red carpet.

At Google, our approach has been to pair simple and timeless yellow attire with the power to index 10 million documents in a single box.

We're honored to have been recognized, and ultimately, we see this as being all about our users and customers. The feedback we get from you, the work of our partners and system integrators, the efforts of IT administrators who continue to push the envelope of the appliance and what search can do – none of our work is possible without you. You...complete us.

Here's looking at you GSA customers.
