At the FASTforward 09 event in Las Vegas in February, Microsoft unveiled a new enterprise search road map. The road map features:
- FAST Search for SharePoint
- FAST Search for Internet Business
FAST Search for SharePoint, a new search server that will add the high-end search capabilities of FAST ESP into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, will be available as a part of the next release of the Microsoft Office system. For customers who are interested in the product, Microsoft also announced ESP for SharePoint, a special offering that allows customers to purchase high-end search capabilities today, with a defined licensing path to FAST Search for SharePoint when it becomes available.
FAST Search for Internet Business will extend FAST ESP and will provide a flexible platform for building engaging, search-driven Web site experiences. The product will be available in beta in the second half of 2009 and will feature new capabilities for content integration and interaction management, helping enable more complete and interactive search experiences.
