The Google Search Appliance runs as a server inside or outside your Network – it indexes critical content by „crawling“ your company resources for data so users can locate it using the same search methods offered on the Google Search site. This may include websites, file shares and databases. You can configure the type and location of your data to ensure only appropriate content is shown to users. Reporting capabilities can show you how your employees are using the appliance so you can get the best results from it
