FAST Search Server for SharePoint 2010 is the gold standard for enterprise search. With the ability to seamless integrate across multiple knowledge silos, and provide unmatched ability to categorise and deep-dive into content regardless of its source with SharePoint.
Capable of supporting hundreds of millions of documents in a vast range of formats with blindingly fast performance and unmatched technological depth, FAST Search Server for SharePoint 2010 delivers a platform that can support the construction of highly complex search-based applications, as well as permit adaptive changes to core-level performance like the relevance weighting models that drive the search engine.
Rapid access to Content Processing and Emergent Taxonomies
FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 delivers the ability to search with powerful support for the automatic creation of metadata based on content processing and predefined metadata dictionaries. While these technologies are powerful, they do not easily support the rapid testing and deployment of new rules, policies and dictionaries, making metadata a dinosaur that cannot accurately or usefully reflect the actual state of information within an organisation. When combined with Ontolica’s capability to merge these dictionaries and content processing technologies with emergent taxonomies, information managers and stakeholders can truly unlock the power of the organisation’s business language.
Leverage true Search-Based Applications
The true power of the FAST Search Server for SharePoint 2010 is the platform it provides for building Search-Based Applications. Such power comes at a cost, though. The complexities of building a powerful Search-Based Application from scratch are simply prohibitive for all but the most dedicated organisations. But, by deploying out-of-the-box vertical solutions for eGovernment, Compliance and Healthcare from Ontolica, the true power of FAST’s scalability, blistering speed and state-of-the-art technology becomes easily available.
True Document Navigation
The FAST Search integration for SharePoint 2010 also contains an improved basic search page, as well as support for simple document previews in Powerpoint and Word document format, which helps to alleviate some of the challenges faced in document-centric organisations. Ontolica’s ability to support hundreds of document formats, as well as in-document search, finding relevant pages and comparing documents is a natural extension to the extremely powerful search experience delivered by FAST.
