Perfect Search and Adhere Solutions: Google Extender
May 12, 2009
I learned from my son (founder of Adhere Solutions) that his team and Perfect Search have a new product available, OBX. I was impressed with the OBX and the way in which the two companies explained their innovation.
The One Box Extender (OBX) allows users to search databases quickly and cost-effectively within the Google Search Appliance.
The One Box Extender (OBX), this product will extend the Google Search Appliance to enable organizations to search their database content with blistering query speeds – all delivered seamlessly though the Google Search Appliance’s OneBox interface.
Presently, Google Search Appliance users search their database content by sending the query through the OneBox Connector to retrieve results from different systems. This approach places query load on the database(s), and slows down the speed of the search for the end users. The Perfect Search One Box Extender (OBX) for the Google Search Appliance enables rapid search of Oracle, Microsoft SQL, DB2, MySQL, and any other SQL compliant database without placing any additional load on these systems. The OBX integrates within the same Search Engine Results Page for database search through the Google Search Appliance’s OneBox API.
Perfect Search and Adhere Solutions… enabling hyper federation.
Traditionally, enterprise search solutions are expensive and can be challenging to implement. The Google Search Appliance with the Perfect Search OBX provides a cost effective, appliance-based solution to index valuable database content. Many current Google Search Appliance users leverage Google’s OneBox connectors as a way to avoid indexing database content purely for cost reasons. Now, these organizations can index their database content, increase speed and relevancy, remove load from their database for a low cost.
Features of the One Box Extender include:
- Integrates the power of database search with the Google Search Appliance OneBox
- Provides connectivity to Oracle, Microsoft, DB2, MySQL, and other JDBC databases
- Can be used to search Microsoft Exchange email records
- Can index millions, or even billions of database records at a fixed cost
- Removes load on existing database systems
- Provides better results than traditional SQL queries
- Results appear within the Google Search Engine Result Page instantly
- Much lower cost than traditional enterprise search software approaches
- Complies with database security policies
- Customizable database displays.

When I spoke with Perfect Search and got a description of the OBX, I concluded that Perfect Search and Adhere had moved beyond basic mash up and into a new territory. The phrase that was used to describe this product was “hyper federation.” This was the first time I heard this description, and I think that Perfect Search and Adhere have broken new ground and have a way to explain what their engineers have accomplished.
