Microsoft to Buy Fast

08/01/2008 - posted under Search Engine Companies
by Duncan Parry

Microsoft have made an offer to acquire Fast, the company who sold their original web search division, including AlltheWeb.com, to Overture back in 2003 (who were then bought by Yahoo).

Fast now offer enterprise search solutions for searching a company's internal documents or on their websites. However I believe they have also licensed their technology for use web crawling, too, after selling their original web search division.

Microsoft's press quote on the BBC is focused on the business division - an area of course that they need to have a strong lead in to safe guard against Google's search appliance solution. No doubt MS will be pushing a Fast-powered enterprise solution as a cross sell with their server software. Maybe with a web search option that uses Live.com?
