Google Updates Search Appliance

Google on Tuesday updated its Search Appliance hardware for businesses, expanding capacity to up to 30 million documents and adding a number of new features. Users can now specify date ranges in their searches, as well as set price and number ranges.

The device doesn't come cheap, however; the base price for indexing 500,000 documents is $30,000, with larger models reaching six figures. Google has also added 10 more languages to the Search Appliance, which now supports 16 in total. Current customers with the GB-5005 and GB-8008 can download the update from Google's support site.
