Representation of service on screens of devices, (2017)

The Google Cloud Search search service known earlier as Springboard, was available to a limited circle of the users who were taking part in its testing. For February 8, 2017 the Google service of Cloud Search is available to users of cloud packets of G Suite of versions of Business and Enterprise.

The Cloud Search service uses search mechanisms of Google for quick search necessary information in a corporate domain of G Suite. Service is expected use in the companies with big document flow where numerous employees and employee groups have access to different files. The search service completely considers settings of confidentiality of files therefore users will get access only to those resources of the company which are resolved them within settings personal the politician or access to command projects.

In addition to basic function as the search tool, Cloud Search works as a peculiar directory service, allowing users to look for a contact information of colleagues, to browse events and files in the general access. When viewing contact information in results of search issue, the employee has an opportunity to click on them to start communication with the colleague e-mail, phone or through the Hangout application.

By analogy with Google Now, the user interface Google Cloud Search is provided by the "card" design of providing data convenient for use on any diagonal of the screen – mobile, the notebook or a desktop. Cloud Search uses algorithms of machine intelligence for formation of the most convenient information output on the screen. Thus, the algorithm Google Cloud Search tries to display so-called "cards of the help" as the recent interest of the user in different files, reminders on events, notes and so on.

Integration of artificial machine intelligence into G Suite was several last months in focus of priority interests of Google in connection with recently finished rebranding of a business packet of cloud applicaions of the company. For example, for the cloud storage of Google Drive the intellectual predicative Quick Access function is provided, it predicts the choice of the file necessary for the user before it began input of its name. According to representatives of Google, such function saves up to 50% of time which leaves on manual search of the necessary file.

Being transformed to service of predicative search via Google Cloud Search, this technology, according to the plan of developers, should provide comparable performance improvement of users of G Suite.
