Google Toolbar for Enterprise

By Roger on June 16, 2005 4:50 PM |

I just noticed that the Google Toolbar has an Enterprise version. Google's always coming up with these new things and hiding them.

I guess the slogan should be 'Google Toolbar, now with 30% less evil'. With this new version, you can encrypt the local index (using efs), restrict file types from being indexed, disable autoupdates, and disable the anonymous reporting back. All this can be done using a provided adm file and tattooing the registry via Group Policy.

It sounds pretty neat. It can also integrate with the Google Enterprise appliance if you have one of those. I wonder if it could be made to submit queries to the Sharepoint search as well.

Makes me want to check on what Microsoft is up to with their MSN Search tool. They bought Lookout a while back. As far as I know that tool is still geared toward end users.
