Google to enhance Search Appliance with Content Connector Framework

Search engine giant Google has said that they are currently developing an open-source architecture to improve its Search Appliance.

This new architecture would help the appliance to index data in content and document management systems and collaboration platforms.

This new framework would also allow developers to create modules that link the Search Appliance natively with other systems like the EMC’s Documentum, OpenText’s LiveLink, IBM’s Lotus Notes, and Microsoft’s SharePoint.

This new system has been named Content Connector Framework by the company internally. And the company said that it would simplify the creation of these modules and allow them to work more effectively than current ones thanks to this common connecting platform residing in the actual Search Appliance.

Matthew Glotzbach, product management director at Google’s Enterprise unit spoke on this initiative: “We want to make that even easier to do so that it’s just a plug-and-play, much like we can do today with databases, Web servers, and file servers: Plug it in, point it at it, and we index it.”
