How big a stake does DELL have in FAST SEARCH? If they license their engine out, does DELL partake in the royalties? Anyone who knows is welcomed to respond. Fez ______________________ Fast Search & Transfer Announces World's Biggest Fastest Search Engine; 300 Million Web Pages Searched in Under One Half Second With Highly Relevant Results New Service Available for Private Labeling by Major Portals, ISPs, and Media WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast Search & Transfer(TM) (FAST(TM) fast.no ), a leading provider of Internet search products and services, today launched a new version of its popular FAST Search(TM) found at alltheweb.com . The new FAST Search provides users with highly relevant results based on newly developed algorithms and is built from an initial database of over 700 million visited Web documents, the most ever visited by any search engine. With over 300 million web documents in its new catalog, FAST Search is the world's biggest search engine according to industry experts Danny Sullivan ( searchenginewatch.com ) and Greg Notess ( notess.com ). With average response time of under one half second per search, FAST Search is also the world's fastest search engine. The blinding speed of FAST Search increases overall user satisfaction and generates more page views per search session. The new FAST search service and its 25 individual language catalogs are immediately available for private labeling by major portals, search engines, ISPs, media companies, and content sites. In May of 1999, FAST announced that it had teamed with Dell Computer to build a search engine powered by arrays of Dell(R) PowerEdge(R) servers and Dell(R) PowerVault(R) storage subsystems that would eventually search the entire Web. In August of 1999, FAST delivered on the first phase of that promise by announcing The World's Biggest Search Engine with over 200 million documents and extremely fast search speed. Since that time, FAST Search has quickly become one of the Web's most popular pure search engines, handling millions of searches per day from users that want a quick and easy way of searching the Web's most comprehensive catalog.
