Microsoft to upgrade SharePoint when Office 14 ships
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft said Tuesday that it plans to formally integrate enterprise search technology from its $1.2 billion acquisition of Fast Search and Transfer a year ago into its popular SharePoint content management platform.
By comparison, the existing search features in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server have trouble handling repositories with more than 50 million documents, Ovum analyst Madan Sheina wrote last month.
The new FAST Search for SharePoint will also bring "more advanced linguistic capabilities" and "more powerful processing" of both structured and unstructured content, Microsoft's Andersen said.
