MC+A

The Weather OneBox allows the Google Search Appliance and the Google Mini to retrieve real-time weather data from Google.com. This ASP.NET web application was developed as a result of MC+A’s participating in the Google Enterprise Professional Program and is now freely available and includes the Apache 2.0 Open Source License.

I’m happy to annouce that MC+A will be bundling in the GSS with any purchase of a Google mini with us(A $650 value!!!). That will include support for the GSS while the mini is supported.

If you are interested, complete the contact us form and we’ll get in touch with you.

The following features have been added:

• Multiple Start Ulrs (so it can support more then one sharepoint instance)
• All configuration settings accessible from the administrative interface

More to come shortly!!!!

There has been many requests for a .NET library that accesses the Google Search Appliance. We are happy to release to the community a open source C# version based on the work Inxight did previously.

Check out the project at:

Will love to hear any feedback!

There are two quietly release open source projects for the Google Appliances. The first allows for some javascript parameteric filter (aka facetted navigation) and the second implements search as you type (i.e. Google suggest).

Take a look at them here:

Search as you type

Both these will be now included in our JumpStart services to be implemented during the jumpstart.
