Google has revamped its enterprise search devices and has announced a new version of its Google Mini for small and medium-sized businesses and an upgrade to its Search Appliance for larger organisations.

The Search Appliance upgrade includes a feature called OneBox, which lets the engine identify the overall intent of certain queries and compile and present certain data at the top of the search results list that may satisfy the user’s information needs.
