Should I think twice before using Fast?

Misplaced Results

I may be wrong, but I am increasingly seeing irrelevant results being thrown up while searching in Alltheweb. Was shocked to see an adult related site (with frames) ranked within top 5 for a query as straight forward as Telecom Billing Solution, having none of the words in the content.
Pray God, things are as usual, but afraid not.

>Was shocked to see an adult
Some of the most talented folks work in the adult industry - tough to beat for any engine and with lots of resources.

Didn't see any unusual amount of spam on Fast altely, however.

The irrelevant results could be due to the fact that they are updating their SERP results this weekend. See here [webmasterworld.com]

FAST has been pretty relevant as of late, I don't see any spam.

Thanx Tor. I belive we the consumers of these so called bigwigs of the Search Industry, do our bit in enhancing the quality of ther service. Afterall for spammers, laws are meant to be broken, unless responsible consumers stand up to policing them.
