Google Mini with New Features is Announced

Google unveils a smaller, faster Google Mini, with new features designed to make it even easier for smaller businesses to add Google search to web sites and corporate networks. The integrated hardware/software search appliance now searches multiple sites and can help businesses create an instant intranet by searching the contents of shared Windows file systems.

New features for the Mini include:

* Access to more, fresher content
- Search across multiple web sites with the ability to create an almost unlimited number of document collections and user interfaces
- Create an instant intranet by directly indexing shared file systems
- Choose between automated continuous crawling to maximize freshness and minimize network traffic, or crawl the entire site on a set schedule

* Better performance
- Faster crawling and query serving, with support for up to 25 queries per second (a 25X increase) for growing websites
- Improved administrator dashboard and SNMP monitoring for remote management
- Easier search query and crawl diagnostics reporting to understand what users are looking for and discover site errors

* Smaller
- About half the size and weight of the original, so fits in a rack or under a desk

The Mini is offered in versions that search from 50.000 up to 300.000 documents and include a year of support. The new Mini is available in the U.S., Europe and now Japan, and offers localized administration in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese.
