Africa/Global: New search technology to power human rights search engine

Fast Search & Transfer? (FAST?), the leading developer of enterprise search and real-time alerting technologies, has announced that HURIDOCS, a global network of human rights organisations and activists, has deployed a hosted application of the FAST Enterprise Search Platform (FAST ESP?) to power HURISEARCH (www.hurisearch.org), a non-profit human rights search engine. With FAST ESP, HURISEARCH provides a single point of access to human rights information published by more than 1,300 non-governmental organisations (NGO) worldwide in 77 languages. This helps activists capitalize on a wealth of existing information in support of human rights.
