Google Adds Cloud Access to Enterprise Search Appliance

Google, which is encouraging businesses to adopt its Google Apps productivity applications, is now making that cloud-based data more accessible for companies that also use its Search Appliance. Now, in addition to enabling intranet searches, the updated Search Appliance’s Cloud Connect will also pull in results from Google Docs, Google Sites and Twitter. The new version also adds People Search, which lists the company employees related to the search subject.
