Good Things Come In Small Packages
The Google Mini is here!!! It arrived on Tuesday and our network administrator got it installed and ready to go at about noon yesterday (Thursday). Huge kudos to him for getting it up and running so quickly, seeing as we had another minor little project this week.
I set it up to crawl the site straight away. It ran overnight…and hit the threshold of 50,000 documents rather quickly. Looking through the logs, it looks like the SEO-friendly URL ISAPI transmogrifier is causing some issues. So I’ve got to program the device to exclude non-friendly URLs and have the Mini recrawl the site.
Even with this minor issue, the potential of the Mini is really exciting. The device has a test page where you can run sample searches and it is already stellar. The improvement over our current site search will be exponential.
