Hoping to attract more small and medium sized businesses, Google is dropping the prices of its search hardware while also boosting document capacity. The Google Mini now costs $2,995 USD - 40 percent cheaper than its previous $4,995 price tag. The Mini can also search twice as much content with support for 100,000 documents.

Google launched the Mini in January as a low cost alternative to its enterprise offering. For businesses needing more capacity or instant indexing, Google's Search Appliance is now available for $30,000 USD with support for 500,000 documents to start. However, the device can be licensed to search up to 15 million files or Web pages.
