Google Mini: A Maxi Move Into Low-Cost Search



At $5,000, the Google Mini search appliance has such a low price — and rich, easy-to-use functionality — that few small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) will find it necessary to look elsewhere for their in-house search needs. While not for the ultrasophisticated enterprise, departments running standalone sites that simply need "search" will find both the price and Google brand attractive, and should investigate the Mini further.
