Use Google Mini to Find Your Documents
Google has come out with the Google Mini. It’s a box that you plug in to your server and indexes all of the documents on your server. That includes, word processing documents, .pdfs, spreadsheets, databases, e-mail …. Why would you want to buy a Google Mini, instead of a software management solution? Because it takes the time and processing power off the server. You can use the Mini to index your website(s) and/or to index your internal network.
According to Google, you can use it to:
* Increase sales by enabling prospects to quickly find what they’re looking for on your public website
* Find critical information on your corporate network with just a Google search
Another quote from Google’s site:
"Our attorneys are continually searching for information. The Google Mini helps them find exactly what they need, when they need it, using an interface they’re already familiar with."
I know that I want one, but I’m not certain it’s cost effective, or that I should spend the money at this time. I’ll let you know if I do get one how it works and whether I’m happy with it.
MacBook Pro = Spotlight my man, SPOTLIGHT.
