"have you ever tried the fast advanced search, it may surprise you a little."

Of course, and its irrelevant to the point. The question is the results served up to the casual, common, normal user. At this point Fast's results are very poor and I sure wish they were better since the world would be better off with at least three or four major, decent, useful search engines.

As long as a search on All the Web for "webmaster world" (no quotes) turns in results where this site only comes in at #18, and then even THAT result is just a random forum, not the main page(!)... well, as long as the results are that poor, FAST will be of little use to users.
