A bit of news (what else is new) from Google.

Google Introduces Corporate "Search Appliance"

>From the article, "By expanding into the corporate search business, Mountain 
View, California-based Google joins a number of companies including Verity 
Inc, Ask Jeeves Inc and CMGI Inc's AltaVista that are also selling enterprise 
software. What makes Google different is that it is selling search hardware 
and software, all contained in a slim device it calls the Google Search 
Appliance, which businesses can install behind their own corporate firewalls 
and program to scan whichever documents they wish...The product comes in two 
versions; one that sells for $20,000 and scales to search up to 150,000 
documents and a more powerful version for $250,000, which Google says can scan 
"millions and millions" of documents."
