Google Singles Domino Out From the Crowd
by Volker Weber
Google, developer of the popular Google search engine, is one step closer to its goal of searching not only all the content on the Web, but inside corporations as well. Google is just starting to let its search appliance access more structured content, and it added Lotus Domino as the first such database it scans.
Google chose Domino first because it’s a popular platform — but more importantly — because its customers asked for it, said Google spokesman Nate Tyler. The Google search appliance automatically collapses Lotus Domino URL space for fast, efficient crawling of Domino servers.
