Fast Search & Transfer (FAST), a leading developer of search and real-time filter technologies, is launching Fast Data Search 3.0, a search solution for enterprise and Internet environments.
The next-generation product suite shatters the traditional notion of information retrieval by delivering a highly modular and scalable application suite combining real-time search functionality with a real-time filter/alert engine for dynamic information processing, advanced linguistics functionality and flexible content access and integration options.
By leveraging Fast Data Search 3.0, corporations increase their return on investment (ROI) by building and maintaining tight customer
relationships, and improving the way they utilize their investments in data and technology infrastructure, says the company.
The technology is designed to solve complex and mission-critical search and information retrieval challenges by retrieving structured/unstructured
data and conducting parametric searches within databases and XML feeds, while cost-effectively utilizing existing IT architecture.
The product modularity together with flexible application programming interfaces (API’s) ensures Fast Data Search 3.0 can be rapidly integrated with existing software solutions such as enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, database OLTP systems and portal solutions, promise the developers.
Currently, Fast Data Search is sold as part of BroadVision, Chordiant Software and TIBCO Software products, with distribution relationships through BEA Systems and Microsoft Corporation.
Real-time indexing capabilities
Fast Data Search 3.0 provides unique sub-second latency from the time a document is available until it is searchable within the system. This level of data freshness is key to delivering highly relevant results and is a prerequisite for driving revenues through e-business channels. Applying these capabilities to parametric
search in databases creates a unique opportunity to search live databases for the most relevant mission-critical information.
Relevancy processing features
The engine handles grammatical and conceptual variations within the data, such as natural language processing and misspelling of queries. Advanced computational linguistics modules provide leading performance in the market.
Automatic, out-of-the-box support for over 49 languages (the largest in the market) enable global enterprises to leverage their investment in multiple markets while retrieving accurate information independent of language. Robust content handling options, such as automatic categorization and dynamic result clustering, allow users to locate information quickly and easily. Innovative virtual collection functionality, combined with highly customisable document and query/result processing modules, enable system configuration on a per-collection basis with customisable relevancy tuning for different sources or partitions of information.
“With the new release of Fast Data Search, I see an excellent choice for those needing a high-end, scalable search engine,” according to Avi Rappoport, a leading authority on enterprise search technology and the principal consultant of Search Tools Consulting.
"Fast includes real-time indexing, a modular and scalable architecture and integration with Web standards including XML and SOAP. The linguistic analysis, query processing and distribution quality assessment functions are innovative and powerful. This solution can increase revenues for e-commerce companies, and improve search functionality on public web sites and Intranets.”
