Google Inc. announced the upgraded version of its Mini search device with additional security features which will allow companies to search for both public and private data on their networks.

Unveiling Mini 2.2 version on Tuesday, Roberto Solimene, Google's European enterprise director, said that companies can now either index public-facing Web sites or index internal intranets and documents.

"For the Google Mini 2.2, we are removing that limitation. Small companies can have the full power of a GSA (the full-size Google Search Appliance) in a Mini. You can now have a secure index, including LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and Active Directory data, so that even small companies can index information that other users are not supposed to find", he added.

Other features added to Mini 2.2 are Google Analytics and SiteMaps. Solimene added that using Google SiteMaps was a good way of organizing the information on your website. "Optimization of Google Site Maps means that, if you are using it for indexing your Web site, and you organize your information in a specific way, that will also help the Google main search engine to index your Web site", Solimene said.

Google Mini will be available in four different versions depending upon the number of documents that can be handled. Google Mini is priced at $1,995 for a limit of 50,000 documents to $8,995 for 300,000 documents.
