What's Next From Google? Perhaps Reader Search, Hosted Google Enterprise

Google is pushing search in new directions with universal search and personalization. It's the leader in Web search by a large margin, and doesn't look to give up its crown anytime soon. And the company has more search tricks up its sleeves, including Google Reader search and potentially a hosted enterprise search product.



Google Reader, the company's syndicated newsreader, is search-less today, despite significant demand for the ability to search through news feeds and other RSS subscriptions. A few hacks to search through Google Reader feeds have even popped up on the Internet. The Google Reader team "gets the message," according to Google software engineer Matt Cutts, and Google Reader search is one of the top priorities on the team's list.



Today, Google's enterprise search product is a piece of integrated hardware and software. Tomorrow, it could well be a hosted service, if and when Google figures out a model that properly maintains the privacy of corporate documents. The beginnings of this are already there: Google recently released its Custom Search Engine Business Edition, an ad-free, $100 per year and up service to search corporate Web sites. ..

Google Desktop Search goes Linux

Google has launched a beta version of Google Desktop Search for Linux in a sign of encouragement by the search giant for Linux on the desktop.

Google Desktop allows people to search the Web while also searching the full text of all the information on their computer, including Gmail and their Web search history. Because the index is stored locally on the computer, users can access Gmail and Web history while offline.

Google Desktop for Linux was written natively and uses Google's own desktop search algorithms, not existing Linux search applications such as Beagle, a company representative said. Only computers with x86 processors can use the software. It supports the Debian 4.0, Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu 6.10, Novell Suse 10.1 and Red Flag 5 versions of Linux, and uses either the KDE and GNOME graphical user interfaces. ..
