KEY POINTS:
Google has rolled out the fifth generation of its yellow Google search appliance, which give enterprise content systems secure search capabilities.
"When we launched the first Google search appliance five years ago, we had a vision to make search inside of business as simple and effective as searching on Google.com," said Dave Girouard, Google Enterprise boss in a statement.
"By combining Google's deep knowledge in search with more understanding and control for environments behind the firewall, we are helping businesses keep pace with the velocity of information."
The yellow rack-mount has come of age, according to Google's spin doctors, and now happily searches across 220 file formats and almost anything you can connect to server.
The fifth birthday announcement included talk of 'significant performance increases' in the SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) -based authentication API (Application Programming Interface).
A new site has been rolled out for Google Enterprise Labs, which gives yellow-box-users a heads-up on new technologies, like DIY KeyMatch to pick particular pages for search terms.
