Basic Search Center (contextual scope) only allows to search within lists or within sites. Search results are displayed on a system page where we cannot customize easily. We can only edit the existing search page and search result page and we cannot add more pages of our own to it.
Enterprise Search Center allows for much more flexibility. We can search across site collections and even web applications (assuming they share the same index). Much more flexibility to customize the search experience, better scalability, we can author our own pages, and overall much better control over searching in general. Enterprise Search Center only available in SharePoint server (Standard or Enterprise), also we need to enable the following site level features for it:
1. “SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features” feature
2. “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” feature
FAST Search for SharePoint does everything that SharePoint Search does, plus a few more things like document previews, deep refiners, user context, and visual best bets. It is extremely scalable and a great choice for organizations that have high volumes of content to be searched.
