Fishbowl Solutions Announced The Release of GSA Connector Version 2.5

Fishbowl Solutions, an Oracle WebCenter Content and Portal Specialized Gold Partner and a Google Enterprise Partner, has announced the release of their Google Search Appliance (GSA) Connector Version 2.5 for Oracle WebCenter Content. This release adds support for Google Search Appliance 7.0 released by Google on October 16th, and provides more search features to Oracle WebCenter users.

Highlights of this release include support for additional GSA features including: 

- Dynamic Navigation - Attribute-based navigation allows users to filter results by metadata values

These features are exposed through both the ready-to-use Oracle WebCenter Google Search page and the Fishbowl Google Search API.

This enables customers to improve result relevancy and take better advantage of the Google search algorithm by leveraging Google's intrinsic title weighting.

In conjunction with releasing version 2.5 of the GSA Connector, Fishbowl customers can try out the Google Search functionality on Fishbowl's public website.
