Oh for sure, but you had to pay like $1k/mo for the license too. On the other hand, functional search when you have 1M+ docs is no joke

Yes, it crawled any network drive, Sharepoint site, or whatever weird shit you wanted. The security permissions were SUPPOSED to reflect that of the searcher, sometimes it was wonky
Yeah you would have to crack open the front to get the drives out. Google didn't provide the key. Presumably, not many folks game to crack open a $20000 investment

I loved them for the same reason. Everything else was so boring but these SCREAMED yellow at you ha

That didn't exist when these were popular but the point was they were a black box that you couldn't get to the software of easily (they required a key to access the hard drives that only Google had) + they had solid amounts of compute to slam all of that indexing through.

Lolol this sounds familiar. I installed three for a government client. I think they worked for....one day, then sat there forever

For those asking what these are: they were basically google in a box, for enterprises/government's. They could be installed in a datacenter you owned and index *everything* from docs to internal sites.
They were very yellow and quirky. Also, they *started* at $20k
