<div>Dear MIT Editors,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We're happy to announce an update to the MIT Google search
engine to a new version which is 2 - 3 times faster than the
current installation. In order to provide this faster and more
reliable search service, MIT's Google search engine will be updated
during the weekend of May 23, 2009.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The latest Google version is already being used by the MIT home
page search, and we have extensively tested the new version on
departmental custom searches. We expect MIT web publishers will not
have to make changes to their existing search forms and custom results
style sheets to take advantage of the benefits of this Google upgrade.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can test your current search forms and results stylesheets
before the transition by following the simple steps at:<br>

>http://web.mit.edu/google/update/</a><br>
<br>
To ensure a seamless transition, the Google team is available to offer
MIT web publishers testing support and to answer your questions about
the Google search. <br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please write to IS&T's search engine
team at <a href="mailto:google@mit.edu">google@mit.edu</a>.<br>

Thank you,<br>
