Microsoft has a long way to go in the fight against Google’s search dominance. However, today they made an interesting move in a different search market - big money America. A $1.2 billion deal was made to purchase FAST, a Norwegian enterprise search vendor. The move will shore up its enterprise product line which includes other web offerings such as SharePoint. Some of FAST’s existing customers include BestBuy.com and ESPN.
Seems like a good choice, but methinks maybe the Goog isn’t too concerned…
