Fast Search Engines

FAST Search and Transfer isn't known for stealth technology, but it should be. Its AllTheWeb.com search engine has snuck up on all of the major search engines with new features, speed and customization capabilities, and is now a viable challenger to pack-leader Google. There are four new technologies that will drive customers to the site. These include dynamic clustering of results, real-time news search, a "pre-analysis" tool that helps refine search queries, and enhanced user interface and customization options, according to Thomas.

Two of the new features, dynamic clustering of results and real-time news search are immediately apparent when you run a search on the updated service. Clustered results appear at the top of a result page in a box labeled "Beta FAST Topics.” FAST pulls these clustered results from the Open Directory Project database, including the first 200 results that match the query. When an existing ODP category matches a query, it is displayed as a FAST topic. If there are no suitable matches in the ODP, the search engine creates new categories on the fly.

This approach to categorization - combining existing, editorially created categories with dynamically generated categories based on the query is an interesting feature that can really help you get pinpoint results very quickly. The new "pre-analysis" tool is also interesting. Essentially, the search engine automatically tries to improve your results by rewriting your queries. This is usually done by adding quotes around common phrases, and removing words from your query not relevant to the search -- a practice employed by most search engines.
