After the Agreement With Fast Search & Transfer ASA
Ya.com Offers the Largest Search Engine in Spanish With Web Pages Selected
From FAST Search, the World's Biggest Fastest Search Engine
MADRID, Spain, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazztel Internet Factory (JIF, www.jifactory.com) has reached an agreement with the Norwegian company Fast Search & Transfer ASA (TM) (FAST) (TM) (www.fast.no) to implement its FAST Search (TM) (http://www.alltheweb.com) technology in Ya.com's Web Search Engine. This alliance has enabled JIF to become the first Spanish company to offer FAST technology. FAST Search is the world's biggest fastest search engine, with more than 300 million web pages searched in under one half second and support for 25 languages.
Jazztel Internet Factory's agreement with FAST allows Ya.com to offer the world's biggest Spanish language Web page catalog to all Spanish speaking Internet users. In an attempt to anticipate an increasing demand for high quality searches, Ya.com has also made available its directory of over 85,000 web addresses classified in 2,500 categories.
The agreement with FAST is a very important advance for Ya.com that allows Internet users to simplify and optimize their searches, and offers them the very best search tools available. In addition, it boosts the Ya.com search engine to the leading position in the Spanish-speaking world, with search capabilities beyond its competitors.
Search and Find
Recently, FAST has been in the news both in Spain and in the US because of its rapid growth. It has become the most powerful of new generation search engines, topping prestigious engines such as AltaVista, Inktomi and Northern Light, according to independent experts.
Ya.com's new FAST Search is very easy to use. To search, the user enters either one or a set of key words, and in less than one half second of search time on average, receives results consisting of a list of references to Web pages, all intelligently related to the initial request. Search engines are increasingly in demand because users are forced to browse through huge numbers of Internet references daily, making a high quality search tool necessary to successfully navigate around the Web.
FAST Search is powered by large arrays of Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage subsystems and uses patented algorithms developed after many years of research by the Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology. The unique FAST Search technology generates a search system that is capable of minimizing redundant and obsolete references -- a growing problem on the Net -- and provides Internet users with high quality results that are extremely relevant to user requests. |
