Google introduced the commercial version of Google Custom Search, which will allow small businesses to improve search on their own sites.
In addition to the features of the
free version , Custom Business Search Edition includes technical support, setting up search results output using the XML API, and the absence of any advertising. The cost of the service is
not great : $ 100 per year for a search on sites containing up to 5 thousand pages, and $ 500 per year - up to 50 thousand pages. It is much cheaper than other similar services.
It should be noted that for a large business, Google has long since been offering a
Search Appliance - a hardware solution that provides local indexing (up to 500 thousand documents) for searching the intranet, costing $ 30 thousand. For the average business, Google offers the
Mini Search Appliance , which provides search 50 thousand documents each.
