Adobe and Google collaborates on search tools

Google continues to expand their collaborations to further expand the availability of their search tools. The search engine giant recently went into a deal with Dell, world’s largest maker of personal computers and they are now collaborating with software giants Adobe.

Both the deals would enable Google to promote their search applications as Dell would be preloading them on their machines and Adobe would be delivering them along with their products to the end users.

Adobe Systems said in a statement that Google has agreed to pay them a “significant” amount to distribute their search software. The company is already distributing Google Search applications with their Shockwave multimedia playback software.

Such deals are important for Google, as Microsoft is due to launch their Vista operating system, which would integrate their MSN Search technologies deep into the user interface of the software. If they are to continue dominating the search engine market, they need the users to continue using Google tools and deals like this would help their cause.
