(InfoWorld) - Universal search and automated translation are big parts of Google's future, a company executive said Friday in Beijing. Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president, search products and user experience, said Google had invested in automatic translation as a way to improve search results across various languages. "CLIR (cross language information retrieval) is better if we can search all the Web pages in every language and return the best search results," she said at a Google "product salon" in the Chinese capital. Mayer said it is particularly advantageous for native readers of languages that have only a small representation on the World Wide Web. "Only one percent of the content on the Web is written in Arabic. With this kind of technology ... if you can imagine us taking that query in Arabic and translating into other languages, it really increases the breadth of the results." She referred to it as "a counter-intuitive advance in search." Mayer said that Google is just getting started with universal search, which allows users to conduct searches across different media, including text, video, images, and audio. Using speech-to-text technology, users could eventually search a piece of video for phrases and keywords without having to view it. She also said that Google was moving towards integrating all of its different search engines, including its Google Book Search and Google Patent Search, to produce comprehensive results for the same search. Mayer admitted that bringing such total results to the end user was not going to happen overnight. "We're just getting started with universal search, there are a lot of issues to overcome here."

(InfoWorld) - Google has enhanced its enterprise search device, doubling its capacity and adding new query capabilities. The Search Appliance's maximum capacity has been increased to 30 million documents, up from 15 million, Google announced Tuesday. 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. 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. The Search Appliance model that can index up to 30 million documents is the GB-8008, the line's most advanced. Google doesn't disclose its price but its 30 million document configuration can cost "in the high six figures," said Matthew Glotzbach, head of products for the Google Enterprise unit. The intermediate model, the GB-5005, has a 10 million document capacity, while the entry model, the GB-1001, starts at US$30,000 and can index up to 3 million documents. Although the off-the-shelf GB-8008 now has a maximum capacity of 30 million documents, Google can make the product index more documents through custom configurations. "We can easily do a 100 million document system," he said. With this week's 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. 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. The purchase of a Search Appliance includes a 2-year support plan, which in turn includes software updates and telephone technical assistance. Google also has a smaller search device called the Google Mini, aimed at departments and small and medium-size businesses, as well as an enterprise desktop search application. Google competes with vendors like Autonomy Corp. PLC and FAST Search & Transfer ASA in the enterprise search market.
