• Reminder: Don’t use an administrator account for your default content access account

I see issues caused by this all the times in the forums, so I thought I would write something up on it.  You do not want your default content access account (aka crawl account) to have administrator privileges.  Besides...

• A quick look at phonetic People Search in SharePoint 2010

• Enterprise Search Web Parts are still Sealed! Unseal them! (SP2010)

  I am pretty passionate about Enterprise Search and with MOSS 2007 I saw customers really struggle because wildcard search was not offered out of the box and most of the web parts in Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebParts are sealed.  Luckily, the...

• Keyword Syntax Additions in SP2010 Enterprise Search (Yes, even Wildcards!)

  I attended numerous Search sessions at SPC09 and one thing that I was excited to see is there have been a few improvements in the keyword syntax that will pretty much eliminate the need to use Full Text SQL queries any longer.  In fact, the impression...
