Adding Google to SharePoint - Adriaan Bloem

One of the questions I hear time and again is: "We're running SharePoint. Should we get a Google Appliance for search?" This was the case with SharePoint 2007, and it hasn't changed with 2010. The only thing that's different is the answer I commonly hear: nowadays, many would advise to get Microsoft's FAST as an "add-on," instead of going with Google's search boxes.

The thing is, adding Google to SharePoint usually doesn't make a lot of sense. SharePoint's native search capabilities compare pretty well to what Google can do. I've only seen a couple of actual bake-offs between the two, but users don't tend to discover big differences in the quality of the results.
