"Being the country's largest privately owned fine wine and spirits merchant, with approximately one hundred and fifty stores (from Tallahassee to Miami) and fifteen hundred employees the need to find products and information is paramount. With our Google Appliance we are able to easily serve those needs of our stores and other support personnel."

"It took us only three days to set it up despite we used Google Mini XML results and XML parser on our websites to customize the search (you can do it much quicker by using the standard HTML interface supplied by Google Mini itself). Our staff were delighted by the difference in quality of results compared to our old search, and we are sure it will be the same with our visitors."

"The Google Mini makes it easier for our clients to find the proprietary research they need with the keyword and spelling suggestion features."

"As an ISP and Web Host, we are excited about offering the power of the Google Mini to our website hosting customers at an affordable monthly rate. We keep the network and hardware running smoothly and they just upload their documents. Instant power search! The reaction has been terrific."

"We'd been struggling with a home-grown search tool that just didn't provide the indexing and features we needed to give our site visitors the relevant search results they were looking for. After looking at a few options in the market, we ordered and installed the Google Mini. Using the feature that returns search results in XML, we were able to customize the output to blend perfectly into the existing design of our site. The setup and customization was fast and easy, and the positive feedback from several departments on campus has been great."

"The American Legacy Foundation is dedicated to building a world where young people reject tobacco and anyone can quit. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that was established in March 1999 as a result of the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between a coalition of attorneys general in 46 states and five U.S. territories and the tobacco industry, and is funded primarily by payments designated by the settlement. As a national, independent public health foundation located in Washington, D.C., the foundation develops national programs that address the health effects of tobacco use through grants, technical training and assistance, youth activism, strategic partnerships, counter-marketing and grass roots marketing campaigns, public relations, research and community outreach to populations disproportionately affected by the toll of tobacco. The foundation has two goals that guide its work toward creating tobacco-free generations: to arm all young people with the knowledge and tools to reject tobacco, and to eliminate disparities in access to tobacco prevention and cessation services."

"The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) is an 118,000+ member national organization serving the radiologic sciences profession with an unwavering commitment to patient safety. Serving the general public and a society this large poses an immense responsibility to providing its Web site visitors with quick and accurate access to information such as continuing education, patient care, latest research, and news as well as industry trends. After reviewing several solutions for a robust and scalable site search solution, including building our own, the ASRT discovered the Google Mini. With its ability to configure search results to a very granular level, ASRT decided that this attention to detail and customer satisfaction would be an equitable extension of our own philosophies of practice. Preliminary post-install trends are showing that the number of phone calls from visitors unable to find information to ASRT’s Customer Information team has decreased significantly. To say the least, ASRT is quite happy with the results so far…and who else to call on for results but Google!"

"Before the Google Mini, we had been using another company's search tool (InQuira). After an entire year of customization we were barely receiving a 50% success rate on search returns. A few hours after implementation of the Google Mini we had a query return success rate of over 80%. The Google Google Mini is by far cheaper ($3,000 vs $50,000) easier to install and maintain (hours vs months) and has a superior successful return rate than any other search tool on the market today. After using the Google Mini for about a month now, we are extremely satisfied and would recommend this solution for any company. Thank you Google! You guys are the best!"

""Bits & Bytes offers one of the broadest and deepest collections of Bible study tools available on the Internet. After working for two years to build a serious ecommerce site, we awakened one morning and realized our default search engine sadly lacked speed and intelligence. Someone mentioned the Google Mini. After reading several success stories and asking Google Customer Support a number of questions, we bought a Mini. Our requirements called for fast, highly intelligent searches and the ability to customize search results. We contracted with Jared Blalock of www.cart-lab.com to implement the Google Mini in such a way that every night it automatically indexes a newly generated site-wide set of static HTML pages and so that it returns search results formatted for our ecommerce site, that is, along with thumbnails, brief product descriptions, pricing information, Add to Cart buttons, and so forth. We are delighted with Cart-Lab's implementation of the Google Mini on the Bits & Bytes site and amazed by the Mini's speed--most searches take less than 0.2 seconds--and its highly intelligent ranking of search results (for which Google rightly is famous). Cart Lab's implementation of the Google Mini's Advanced Search capabilities provide our more search-savvy customers the additional power and flexibility they need. Study after study has shown that most shoppers use an ecommerce site's search function to find what they are looking for and that if they do not succeed after two or three attempts, they give up and shop elsewhere. We are confident the Google Mini provides our customers the fastest, smartest, and best possible search experience. The Google Mini is a dream come true; we recommend it to anyone who is looking for fast, intelligent searches." John Hughes, President"

"With our corporate web site, the Google Mini just made sense. Rather than spend time programming all the features that the mini has, like key matches, spelling corrections, etc., we simply dropped it on our network and were up and running in an hour. With our Intranet, everyone was asking why our searching couldn't just work like Google. Well, now it does."

"We've had an e-commerce site since 1998 but have never been satisified with any of our search options. Our Google Mini was added late in the summer of '05...what a difference! The Mini finds everything we want it to, and it's fast! We already see an increase in multi-sale orders, meaning people are searching our site more effectively and finding just what they are looking for."

"Our client, a lawyer, had large numbers of legal documents, legislation and regulations he wanted to make accessible to his staff and his clients. He needed speed, result prioritizing and above all, something easy to use. The Google Mini appeared to offer him everything he needed including the opportunity to upgrade if he wishes. Integration of the Google Mini into his website and intranet was a breeze for us and our client is thrilled about being able to get quality search results in a fraction of a second."

"Scottish Food and Drink is a Scottish Enterprise project with the site developed by Calligrafix, Scotland. Calligrafix investigated different search solutions and settled on the Google Mini for searching through site documents as well as the webpages which are dynamically created from our information management system. The users have the familiar google interface with the results wrapped in the look and feel of the site so they don't feel as if they have been shunted off to an external site. The solution works well and reduces load on the web server where the previous search solutions resided."

Now our users could finally find the proper information in the huge amount of data and documents available for the citizens in our governmental organization. ITALIAN: Cercare una risposta e trovarla facilmente è una delle cose fondamentali nella vita quotidiana e crediamo che lo sia anche in Internet.

"We had been using a database search tool for our eCommerce web site that frustrated our sales staff and visitors to our site no end. Typically the search tool was (and is) used to locate products on our web site. Many times the 'search term' like the product code is incomplete or is descriptive and the database search tool was too literal (generating incorrect or too broad of results...or even worse: no results). We needed a way of bridging site navigation to adapt to the specific user and make their visit as productive as possible. We looked into many solutions but the Google Mini was the best bang for the buck. It provides much more relevant results especially when the search criteria is broad. It's features are amazing and the set up is very simple. It's certainly increased the conversion ratio and helped visitors find the specific product they are looking for without having to call our sales staff."

"Prior to using the Google Mini our customers had great difficulty finding specific types of products. Now they can easily refine their search criteria and locate (and buy) the product they're searching for."

"Easily to install and configure, we were up and running in 15 minutes and fully indexed in 1 hour. Search results are close to perfect every time!"

Christopher Johnson

"C.V.T.C. has a large Intranet and a new web portal. We have been struggling to find and efficient way to allow users to search for Intranet content in an efficient manner. We did some research and the Google Mini sounded like exactly what we needed. We installed the Mini and had the first search occuring within 6 hours. This product has done exactly what it advertised it would do. "

"The keymatch system has helped increase awareness of special promotions that people might not otherwise have found. It lets me put offers in front of the people who are directly interested in them.

Google Mini Search has made a world of difference for accessing our forms, check lists, work instructions, policies and procedures. Thanks Google, you rock."

"When administering multiple sites through our MCMS setup, our older search solution was no longer performing well for us. The Google Mini set up was straightforward and quick. Our questions to support were also answered quickly and professionally, which aided us in getting our new search page running smoothly."

"Google Mini easily integrated with our existing IT infrastructure and provides far better advanced features, fast and categorized results than our previously used search engine."

"The Mini had no trouble indexing our website with over 50,000 dynamic pages. Given a single Collection we could still support our very complex security model. We do this by filtering the XML returned from the Mini before we pass it on to the end-user. This replaced our old system of database based SQL Full Text index searching, which was much slower, didn't work as well with HTML formatted files, and returned less relevant results."

"So far even in test mode the search box is returning more relevant products of my website than my current search algorithm. For example when a customer searched for the keywords Ice Machine the search results brought back Slicer Machines; because apparently the word ice is the word SLice. But the Google Mini Box can distinguish this. I love it. "

"Every month over 500,000 people visit www.confetti.co.uk to help them plan their weddings and special occasions. Along with their six stores, Confetti is the UK's leading source of weddings and special occasions information and products. Conffeti.co.uk's success is based on the concept of adding value to their shoppers by providing fun forums, expert advice, useful planning tools and well written articles, a concept they call "E-commerce Driven Content". Traditionally, Confeti.co.uk had employed two searches on site, a database driven product search and an Open Source search for articles. The challenge was to move to one search function which produced one blended search results page with articles and enticing product results from the shop. The solution was to use the Google Mini, making use of the Meta data support to embed images, product codes and product descriptions. ivantage.co.uk, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultancy and Confetti's retained paid and organic search marketing agency, worked with Confetti to deploy the new Google Mini search. As well as successfully combining enticing product listings with images and plain content results, Confetti is now able to use keyword triggers to makes searchers aware of relevant product categories and promote their site advertisers by selling keywords. The use of the Google Mini, has improved the onsite search experience for users and has enabled users to be exposed to the full range of Confetti shop products when searching, which has resulted in increased sales."

"CouponChief.com is a directory of online coupons and promotional codes to over 1,000 web retail stores. Our homegrown search was basic in functionality and rarely returned relevant coupons to our users. Since deploying our mini, we've seen a 200% increase in successful searches, but the real benefit will come from the loyalty of discount shoppers who find it easy to search for the coupons they want. Relying on the Google Mini for our site search means we can focus on providing deals to our visitors."

"We are now able to filter the searches to the topics that people actually want instead of unrelated material"

"Rolled out to fulfill a need to find all of our internal documentation."

"We had been using an open-source solution for years. We'd seen spotty results from a technical standpoint, and our marketing team always expressed more of a desire to control over influencing those results. Almost overnight after the Mini was racked we were able to perform a crawl, and within a week we were confident enough to switch out the old search engine within a campus template."

"The first reason: We where looking for a search solution that provided service over our different data bases and also through our XML and HTLM web pages. Google Mini it’s the solution. We have more than 80.000 legal and official documents and our clients must get all the information that web provided quickly. The information that we provided are laws, legal documents and official information. "

"Before we purchase our Google Mini mini we were using htdig which worked "ok". Now with the Google Mini our users are able to quickly and easily find the information they are looking for. One of the features we like best is the automated spell check feature. If our users accidentally misspell something it corrects them and directs them to the proper information instead of them thinking we do not have any information on their subject. We have had tons of positive response from our users and we are very happy with the performance of our Google Mini. "

"Since the integration of the Google Mini with our website, our customers find what they are using search 90% more often. The Mini has reduced the amount of phone calls we receive from customers who could not find what they were looking for. We also have a much improved conversion rate on sales that started with a search. The mini is 1000 times better than our shopping cart's original search functionality."

"Drake & Cavendish list luxury hotels in over 700 resorts in over 200 countries. The site now features an ever growing list of more than 5,000 luxury hotels and navigating to the right hotel was becoming a frustrating experience for our users. The Google Mini provides a fantastic user experience to drill down to the information needed. The spelling tool is superb, hotels around the world have weird and wonderful names which simply didn't show up using our old search function. Now they are displayed for all to see. Superb stuff Google, keep up the great work."

"Consistently recognized as a best practice in web marketing, the official tourism and information site for Durham, NC, and the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau are expected to stay on the cutting-edge of destination marketing.

"My name is Pat Kelly, General Manager at eCompressedair. eCompressedair serves the compressed air market through an e-commerce business-to-business Web site: www.ecompressedair.com. In April 2006, eCompressedair added a Google Mini search appliance to help customers find more quickly the products they need from the more than 25,000 number of products we sell. In the past 7 months since adding the feature, and making no other major changes to the Web site, transactions have skyrocketed 204%. Like many online businesses eCompressedair was started in a basement by myself with support from our Massachusettes operation. eCompressedair went live September 2002. Fast forward a few years and eCompressedair is a profitable business with offices in Charlotte, NC. We began assessing eCompressedair.com’s search functionality in February 2006 and realized our existing search feature had several downsides: it only indexed store product pages, could not recognize partial part numbers, and often returned inaccurate search results. Search is a primary navigation method. And visitors demand a b site search and alternate navigation schemes. Having a bad site search costs profits everyday. I gave consideration to either customizing my existing search, purchasing an add-on search tool or service, or Google’s Mini search appliance. I pulled the trigger purchasing a Google Mini in March 2006. The Mini was a low risk business decision. Priced at $2,995 last March with a year of technical support and upgrades, the Mini only had to add $500 a month in margin to my online business to pay for itself in six months. I knew a significant improvement in helping customers find the products they need would lead to more orders. All the e-commerce research I reviewed claimed a significant sales increase came from improving search. My reasons for selecting a Mini were many: one search for my static pages and dynamic pages; relevant search results; keyword and synonym functionality; search results formatted similar to Google results which provides customers with greater familiarity with the feature, and with little technical know-how the Mini can be seamlessly integrated with any site. Rolling the Mini out went smoothly. Once installed, I logged in to my Mini and configured the search and serving. I ran a first crawl of eCompressedair. I quickly realized Mini was indexing content that really did not need to be indexed, so I made some quick changes to the search parameters and in short order had a clean index. Of course, I had to add some code to my store and static pages to let visitors search the Mini. And, the Mini’s search results page had to be customized to show my site’s header and footer. You tweak the Mini’s search results page look and feel by a XSLT style sheet. The sheet is well commented and with a little trial and error, our Mini’s results page matched our site’s look and feel completely. After I had the Mini running for a few weeks I wanted to add product photos to Mini’s search results. After some quick research in Google’s online Mini community and online support website, I learned how to add photos by adding a custom meta tag to my product pages and adjusting the Mini search string. Really it is not a big deal. And, there are other ways to fine tune result pages. Google’s email support and online support web site for the Mini owners is well organized, has a wealth of data, and is easy-to-use. Support responds quickly with real answers. In September 2006, I added a system log (syslog) to capture all Mini’s search requests. By analyzing the log to find the zero search results, I hope to add products and content to eCompressedair based on what visitors cannot find today. The new Mini version has improved reporting functionality that may eliminate the need to log the search requests to a syslog. As much fun as it is to play with our high tech toys and yes, Mini is a fun high tech toy, what does it do for the bottom line? Mini must have an MBA cause my online transactions have increased 204%. To put a report card together for the Mini, I analyzed eCompressedair’s online transactions and sales dollars for the seven months since adding Mini, April 06 to October 06 and compared it to the 7 months prior to adding the Mini September 05 to March 06. With the increase in the number of online transactions, our average online transaction amount reduced some from $242 before Mini to $201. The same 7 month comparison shows a 249% sales dollar growth since adding Mini. I am convinced Mini contributed significantly to our growth over the last seven months. I have no doubt it is largely responsible for our 204% increase in online sales transactions. eCompressedair is not done with Google Mini search appliances. We plan to add a second Mini to serve as a search tool on our future intranet. I am sure a second Mini will help our business grow, while our first Mini continues to contribute to the bottom line. "

"The Mini allows Best Buy's vendors to search their Supplier Portal quickly and efficiently for the documents they need. Setup was a breeze and Best Buy staff runs the admin portion. The Mini's a coup."

"When we ordered the Google Mini, the search engine running on our internal website had some serious problems. We were able to quickly install and configure the Mini to replace and dramatically improve our existing search capability. Once other departments saw how easy it was to find documents on our website, we ended up using the Mini to search their web pages as well."

"Being a High-Tech Manufacturer, offering thousands of products, our main audience are Engineers which need to find technical information on our site fast. We prev. used an open source search engine which did't provide what we needed - e.g. search for terms. Now the mini offers much better search, everybody knows how google works anyway so there is no leaning curve and with the clever use of META Tags and a customized stylesheets, our search results even display product images..."

"ESAB was faced with having two different search interfaces for their online catalog and company web site. While moving forward with a brand new web design and content management system, marketing knew that the best solution for the customer was to merge these two search interfaces. Ten minutes after opening the Google Mini box, we had our single interface. It was easy to set up and was indexing both the catalog and the new web site into one collection for searching. We are very pleased with the Google Mini solution."

"The google mini has increased our search results converting into increased sales."

"After replacing an aging in-house ecommerce search solution with a Google Mini we had a tenfold increase in searches on our site, and a 20% rise in sales. Working in the office supplies industry we have a large product catalogue with lots of variations, making an accurate and flexible product search extremely important. The Google Mini provides a one box solution that meets our requirements for speed, flexibility and quality of results. The XML interface is flexible enough to allow us to fully integrate the Mini with the rest of the website, providing a seamless experience for our customers.""

"Implementing Google Mini solved a host of issues that we had encountered with our home-grown search engine solution. The use of the subcollections has allowed us to implement search technology that is representative of all of our content, not just what Indexing Service was able to look at. We are thrilled with the prospect of being able to provide our patients and customers with a search engine that will make their experience on our website better, faster and more effective. Not to mention the fact that our users are able to use the standard features such as spell check and spelling suggestions that they have come to expect from Google."

The most efficient way to help people find items is through search so this was a no-brainer that better search technology equaled better search results, which in turn increases revenue. eVitamins needed an affordable search solution that was built on world class technology. After testing and evaluating several different search devices or ASP's, we chose the Google Mini. Implementing the Google Mini was easier then expected. Our team was able to get the Google Mini up and running in less then 24 hours. We were fully indexed and serving search results within 48 hours. In the 6 months since we have implemented the Google Mini on our website, we have seen search related sales increase 15% and conversions increase more then 30%. The Google Mini has more then paid for itself in less then 6 months. We are thrilled with the results we have received. We'd highly recommend the Mini to anyone out there looking to help their customers find more products."
