Capturing and storing information as it is created has increasingly become a must for any size company. Improvements with the new SharePoint 2010 have made it even easier to capture this data and turn it into information to help you with your daily work. But once you capture this vast amount of information what do you do with it? How do you sort through the haystack to find the needle you need?

Put the needle where everyone can see it by incorporating Microsoft’s best-of-breed, high-end search solution called FAST. With FAST Search for SharePoint you can tune relevance to the users profile and search history, incorporate your own vocabulary, and present results in a visually user friendly layout. Core results, listed in the middle of the screen, are shown with a thumbnail or scrolling preview, and provide not only the title and link to the document, but also a brief summary, author, date and document size which all allow you to more quickly cut through the clutter to get to the most relevant results. The refiners on the left side of the screen provide you with counts and additional sub-categories to help refine your search even further. Powerful people search and related internet searches are listed on the right and help you find and connect to experts in the area you are searching.

FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint provides an enterprise search platform delivering results to users that are meaningful and dynamically tailored to their jobs, roles, and functions within the organization. FAST offers a great out-of-the-box experience to get search up and running quickly, and provides a platform that grows with your business needs.
