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...
This is kind of a weird issue and I ran into it the last two times I setup a MOSS virtual machine, so I thought I would take a moment to tell about it today.  I am a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine.  This server is a DC and also has SQL...

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...
First of all I would like to say this tool has improved quite a bit since the last version. However, I still feel that it has a long way to go before a SharePoint developer would actually consider using it. The functionality I am targeting today is the...
A while back, I posted about how to Remote Debug a task form for a workflow. The post I made didn't clearly specify I was talking about a task form so I went back and updated it. This made me thing that I haven't covered how to debug a Full Trust...
I have been building a large number of InfoPath Form Templates in Visual Studio 2008 lately and I have discovered it is can be quite the exercise in frustration when you want to put your files in TFS (or any source control for that matter). There are...
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...
Since, I have started working with Enterprise Search, I have received many requests looking for ways to improve what we can do with documents. The search results screen in MOSS, as flexible as it is, has always been lacking in features compared to search...
Release 3 of the Wildcard Search Web Part is now available. This minor update fixes a user reported issue where the scope property was not being used. If you are new to the blog, the Wildcard Search web part allows a user to do partial word queries with...
