FAST's new relevance ranking algorithm combined with its proprietary linear, scalable architecture enables the answering of multi-word queries with extreme precision in a wide variety of languages. FAST has added the use of the proximity of search terms within a document to its ranking algorithm adding to the existing advanced international linguistic and phrasing capabilities. In addition, FAST is now including documents in the Microsoft Word format within its Web search results. Each Word document is labeled (MS Word) next to the title on a search results page.
