Google was set to unveil on Wednesday two new enterprise search products - a new Google Search Appliance and a next generation Google Mini - targeted at large enterprises and small organisations respectively.

The new Google Search Appliance integrates Google's OneBox technology that will allows companies to offer search short cuts to commonly asked questions across their business applications, such as corporate contact directory, customer resource management and financial programs.

The new Google Search Appliance, for which pricing starts at $30,000, also has improved security and performance increases over the previous Search Appliance, Google said.

Meanwhile, the new Google Mini is targeted at small businesses and is faster and half the size and weight of the original Mini. It costs just under $2,000.

Google is also launching an enterprise developer program.
