Enterprise Search Question

Crowd Source
Need help finding a cheap ($10K max) enterprise search solution for my company. Fully explained on LinkedIn here: http://tinyurl.com/3zk3wp.

Looked at Google mini and the bigger box and it seems like it would work, but the bigger box is too much money and the little box may not go across all documents we need or into all places we need (mostly internal shared drives). We also need to tag documents and images. Not clear on how we tag images so they come up where we need them too.

I've done three Google Mini installs, and I can tell you that it will index hundreds of different types of documents from damn-near anywhere.

I don't believe there's a difference between the GSA (big box) and the Mini in terms of how it indexes or the formats it can index. The difference is in capacity, and some higher level search functions.

If you have questions or what me to test something on one of my installs, drop me a line.

Try SearchBlox www.searchblox.com They have a nice web based user interface and it is real simple to install. Also much lower on the $$$.
