We had a GSA for intranet search and other than the paint this was a standard Dell server. I remember not being impressed by what the GSA could do. We also had Google Urchin for web analytics, it wasn't a hardware appliance but the product wasn't very impressive either. They then killed that and tried to get you onto Google Analytics. They just didn't commit to these on premise enterprise products.
