Norway also had the FAST search company acquired by Microsoft. Is Norway particularly good at making search stuff?

Actually, Vespa comes out of the same FAST company. Yahoo bought Overture/Altavista and a lot of other web search companies in 2003, including the web search division of FAST. The Enterprise search division of FAST was later acquired by Microsoft.
