Sure I do (well, the porn anyway). Your comment about the hardware that google sells was retarded though. It's not the same.

No kidding it's not the same. It's an enterprise class intranet/internet search solution that's also been scaled down to meet the needs small to medium businesses. Here's retarded - asking the admins of a p***r siteto shell out $3k because you can't be bothered to figure out how to find what you're looking for via google already.

Like I said - ask the admins to throw down a google search link (ala sendmail.org or 10,000 other sites) or add some already freely available search code. Buying a search appliance for a publicly available and relatively small site is what's retarded.

would you need the big one?

Google Enterprise Announces Search Replacement Program

Google today announced a search replacement program whereby any business that replaces its existing search solution with a Google Search Appliance by the end of the year will receive a free Google Mini. More than 2,000 businesses worldwide use Google's search products to deliver Google-quality search results to customers, employees and partners.

"Given the recent turmoil with providers of legacy search solutions, there has never been a better time to upgrade your company's search to Google," said Dave Girouard, general manager of Google Enterprise. "This program allows companies to upgrade both their internal and public-facing search solutions all in one quick step."

The Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software search solution that enables corporations, universities and government agencies to deliver Google-quality search results on their corporate network and public websites.

I like the idea. Would they need the $3,000 one or the $30,000 one? If its the small one, I'm sure whe can get 300 people to chip in $10 each, I'd do it.

Hell, even if I loved the search function, I'd be in favor of charging a fee to use the website. A big fee.

If it pays for a better search function, all the better.
