Google to search inside business software programs

The new feature, known by the mouthful “Google OneBox for Enterprise,” is built into boxes Google sells to businesses. They help create custom search systems for employees inside organizations or for consumers on the company’s own Web site. “Google is becoming more and more savvy about what the enterprise needs in the way of search,” said IDC analyst Sue Feldman, an expert in the enterprise search field. “It is taking commodity search, adding features, and making search more appealing” for business users, she said.
