    The Google Search Appliance is well suited to most site search needs and it is possible to customize the front end seen by website visitors to produce a satisfactory basic interface with basic branding applied to it. However, in some situations it may be necessary to instead make API calls from a web page to retrieve search results and the format in which those results are returned might be a little more difficult to work with.

    • It's my understanding that Google is ending support for the appliance soon. This is obviously an important consideration.
    • The administrator interface is far from easy to use.
    • There is a significant learning curve for new users.

    Google search has always been superior. No other search engine application can even come close.

    • The GSA was not cheap. At all.
    • There has also been a cost associated with our need to switch to another site search solution in the near future, due to Google ending support for the sppliance.
    • That said, we have so much support content that we owed it to our customers to offer a comprehensive search tool to help them find the most relevant content - and of course Google are the masters of this. However, it's worth noting that the alogorithms used on the GSA are far older than those used on google.com.
