A next-generation search engine service pioneered by Fast Search & Transfer (FASTTM) and Dell Computer Corporation is making searches of the entire contents of the World Wide Web available worldwide. Currently, FAST's search site at http://alltheweb.com offers users 80 million searchable documents, a number thatŐs slated to nearly triple by summer 1999.
FASTŐs new technology transforms the web search engine from a static application into an "organic" one that grows daily as new web sites are added. Its advanced search capability uses a high-performance, low-cost software/hardware system that's able to search virtually the entire web in response to every request, with outstanding speed and relevant results.
FASTŐs unique web search architecture was developed by several Ph.D. students and professors from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who founded FAST in 1997. For more information about FAST and its products, see http://www.fast.no
