FAST search has some nice quirks for the end user.
One of the most popular is the thumbnail preview for MS Office documents.
One of the restrictions on the thumbnails is that they will only show if the crawled content is a SharePoint site - bummer!
However there is a gotcha that you should watch.
If you have a document in a site and the same document in a non-sharepoint site (fileshare, web site tec), then it will not thumbnail.
You will have to use the facet on the left to ensure that the source is a SharePoint site.
Now once we facet it down to the sharepoint site we get the required thumbnail
