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>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><a href="http://web.mit.edu/google/update/">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><br>Thank you,<br><br></div><div>Suzana Lisanti <br>Theresa Regan, Mark Silis, Hubert Pham<br><a href="mailto:google@mit.edu">google@mit.edu</a><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
