Google decided to sunset the Google Search Appliance over the next several years, leaving a gap in the enterprise search space for organizations dependent on it for their public website search and secure internal search. New hardware sales stopped in 2017, license renewals for Google Search Appliance customers phase out in 2018, and support ends in 2019.

Built on open source search and analytics technology, Nero delivers a modern search platform with minimal setup and flexible deployment options at an affordable price.

The Future of Big Data
With some guidance, you can craft a data platform that is right for your organization’s needs and gets the most return from your data capital.
Nero brings everything users have come to expect from a modern search engine – real-time suggestions, facets, advanced filtering, wildcard search, “did you mean?” spell-check, dynamic results display, and speedy performance. The Nero Admin Portal provides system administrators and developers with an intuitive interface for configuration, monitoring, and reporting. Nero is built on Elasticsearch, a popular open source search and analytics engine. Elasticsearch APIs crawl, index, and store data with performance in mind. These components enable Nero to be easy to use, highly scalable, and incredibly fast.
