The file share search on Implement Consulting Group’s intranet is driven by a Google Search Appliance (GSA). Recently, with help from Findwise, the search interface was given a new look, that integrates more seamlessly with the overall design of the intranet.

GSA comes with a default search interface similar to the Google.com search. The interface is easy to customize from GSA’s administrative interface, however, some features are simply not customizable by clicking around. Therefore, GSA supports the editing of an XSLT file for customizing the search. GSA returns the search results in XML format, and by processing this file with XSLT we can customise how the search results look and behave.

Custom CSS and JavaScript was used for integrating GSA’s search functionalities in the look and feel of the intranet. Implement’s new intranet is based on thoughtfarmer.com and the design was delivered by 1508.dk.
