The Search Appliance’s maximum capacity has been increased to 30m documents, up from 15m, Google says. The increased capacity comes via a software upgrade that also includes search query enhancements. The software upgrade is available to Search Appliance owners with an active support plan. All owners get access to the search query enhancements, but they have to pay extra if they want additional capacity.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The Search Appliance, introduced in 2002, is a hardware box with Google search engine software designed to index and retrieve documents stored in enterprise servers.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The Search Appliance model that can index up to 30m documents is the GB-8008, the line’s most advanced. Google does not disclose its price but its 30m document configuration can cost "in the high six figures", says Matthew Glotzbach, head of products for the Google Enterprise unit.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The intermediate model, the GB-5005, has a 10m document capacity, while the entry model, the GB-1001, starts at $30 000 for 500 000 documents, and can index up to three million documents.<\/font> <\/p>\n

Although the off-the-shelf GB-8008 now has a maximum capacity of 30m documents, Google can make the product index more documents through custom configurations. "We can easily do a 100m document system," Glotzbach says.<\/font> <\/p>\n

With this upgrade, all Search Appliance models have gained the ability to limit search results by a date range. For example, a user now can retrieve documents published in, say, the first quarter of 2004.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The Search Appliance now also can narrow search results by number range. This might be useful for e-commerce companies, so they can let their customers find products within a specific price range.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The purchase of a Search Appliance includes a two-year support plan, which, in turn, includes software updates and telephone technical assistance.<\/font> <\/p>\n
