I was reading the forums the other day and saw another post in the MOSS Search forum about someone wanting to be able to specify a custom sort order with the CoreResultsWebPart.  WildcardSearchWebPart will allow you to specify a static full text...
I’ve seen a few people asking about this in the Crawl Logs and thought I would take a few minutes to address it.  First and foremost this is a warning and not an error message.  Sometimes when you receive this message, it is the crawler behaving...
If you’re like me, you like to have as few manual steps in your deployment documentation as possible.  It’s easy to use the UI of your SSP to add a file extension to the list.  However, I would rather have code put those settings in there for...
Recently, I was troubleshooting and Enterprise Search / BDC issue and I encountered the following error when trying to view the entity page of a given LOB system. Entity id is invalid As usual, this error was completely and totally useless.  I really...
In Enterprise Search, I often find it useful to create a scope around a specific list template.  This gives users added flexibility in searching only specific lists of documents, list items, pages or whatever.  I think there are a few ways to...
This is kind of a strange error that I sometime receive when trying to startup a crawl in Enterprise Search.  I have only received it on MOSS servers with the Infrastructure Update applied, but it might occur on other versions as well.  The...
It’s been a while since I have done a how to post, so I thought it was due time. I see request all of the time for people wanting to provide very specific custom advanced search capabilities. The AdvancedSearchWebPart is ugly and bit lacking, but luckily...
Last week, I demonstrated how to call the Enterprise Search web service to get search results to a colleague.  I pointed him to my post on querying a web service and he was able to easily put the code together to call the web service.  However...
There seems to be a huge plague of the following error sweeping through the SharePoint community right now. This occurs when you go to the Search Settings page on your SSP. You will probably notice it before this by a user trying to search and getting...
I have been reconfiguring a search index and running into this issue a lot, so I thought I would post on it. In my case, I am crawling a content source that comes from a BDC application definition. The first time I crawl, I get the following error. The...
I have posted in the past about how to use the KeywordQuery class to execute an Enterprise Search query. This makes it easy to get a DataTable containing search results. However, one caveat with this is that some columns get returned as a string array...
The other day, I was trying to work some XSLT magic with my CoreResultsWebPart. What I was trying to do is pass an integer value in a search query (that went against a BDC application definition) in a link to a page. This should be a simple task, but...
I am excited to announce that, the Wildcard Search Web Part and the Document Link Handler for Enterprise Search have been added to the Search Community Toolkit . I thought both of these tools are a great fit to the toolkit since they are so useful in...
I've seen a few posts in the forums lately on this, so I thought I would post how I have implemented it in the past. The issue is you have multiple SharePoint farms, but you want one index server to handle both of them. This is actually pretty easy...
The Enterprise Search component of MOSS 2007 and Search Server are great products and they can do a lot of great things out of the box, however I repeatedly see the same requests from clients. I also see people having the same issues in the forums all...
