More information on search in SharePoint 2010 will be found here quickly after the information reaches a more "public" state. Looking forward to here form you again then. Thanks for the insight.

This will, like you have highlighed, decrease the focus on metadata and tagging as we know it today and give an opening for more dynamic ways to handle this. Many larger orgnisations today have given up hope on forcing the end-users to use standalised metadata and are instead using the searchtool to look for frequently mentioned words that is added as metadata automatically. It's going to be interesting to follow the roadmap for SharePoint in this area, as more FAST functionality is added.

There will be a "Fast Search for SharePoint" in the next SharePoint version and until then, what Microsoft does right now is that they give a very good price on the Fast ESP if you have Enterprise cals. So that might be an option to look in to if you have that. A couple of weeks ago Microsoft release some info on their Search Roadmap. You find it here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/02/10/microsoft-unveils-new-enterprise-search-road-map.aspx /Mattias Hi David,

I will take a look at ontolica. Fast is an extremely powerful tool, (similar to Autonomy) but also very expensive. But I have heard, that they are about to release a "Fast for Sharepoint" licence that want cost a fortune, but it will only work for Sharepoint. Another option is to go for the Google Mini or Google Search Appliance. Thanks for nice info!
