To date, I’ve written a few posts on issues that may occur when you are looking to create a search center.  Sometimes the site template isn’t present or you receive an error .  I recently encountered another issue with the FAST Search Center...
It’s generally pretty easy to create a Search Center or FAST Search Center site.  However, on a new installation, there are a few features you need to activate (especially if you are using blank site) that are easy to forget.  I’ve talked about...
This is something that I have been trying to figure out for quite some time.  I’ve seen numerous people ask in the forums and no one seemed to have a conclusive answer (at least the last time I checked).  The issue is simple.  You want...

When you install SharePoint and configure your Search Service Application, it usually does a pretty good job making sure that your default content access (aka crawl) account has the appropriate permissions to your SharePoint sites.  However, many...
I absolutely love the new social ratings site columns that we can easily add to existing SharePoint 2010 document libraries.  It gives such an easy way for end users to rate documents in an interface they are probably already familiar with because...
