Several projects have been recently promoted to the Google Labs page. These have previously been hosted on code.google.com. Two of interest are side by side search results.  This is is very help for comparison of biasing policies or to do a Google Search Appliance versus SharePoint demonstration. 

The second project promoted was the Salesforce.com connector for google search Appliance.  This utilizes the Connector Manager 2.0 framework and the Salesforce.com API.  Everyone who uses salesforce.com realizes that its search is fairly limited.
