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...
Getting FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 installed is a pretty involved process. It’s definitely easier in the RTM since there is a wizard now and you don’t have to run 20 different PowerShell scripts. However, one issue I encountered myself...
Anyone who likes SharePoint Enterprise Search has to love FAST. As a developer, sooner or later you are going to want to take advantage of the FAST Query Language also known as FQL . This lets you truly leverage the power of FAST and perform...
I have been researching Custom Index Connectors in SharePoint 2010 over the past few weeks. I have been working with the MyFileConnector sample provided in the SDK, but after I made some changes, I realized it wasn’t immediately obvious how to debug...
Last week, I showed you how to use the QueryManager class to query SharePoint Enterprise Search. In that post, I mentioned that we can actually use the QueryManger class to harness the true power of federated search and query multiple locations at once...
One request I have seen a lot from people since MOSS 2007 is the desire to add a link to the subfolder of a document on the search results page. This is useful when the user wants to see what else is in that folder or if they want to perform other...
Last week, I talked about the KeywordQuery class and how to use it in SharePoint 2010. I mentioned that a new way to query also existed using the QueryManager class. This class is extremely powerful and can allow us to issue federated queries...
By now, I’m sure you know that there have been a ton of changes and improvements in SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search. The underlying architecture of Enterprise Search has been ripped out of the old SSP model and is now based on Service Applications...
Two weeks ago, I posted about how to create scopes and scope rules using PowerShell . At the end of the post I mentioned that there was no rule type for creating scope rules by content type. I knew there had to be a way to do this, so I created...
This weekend, I got inspired to create what I think could be a great new CodePlex community Project. Last week, I saw a post in the forums as well a comment on the blog asking if specific PowerShell commands existed in regards to Enterprise Search...
On a recent SharePoint 2010 migration I completed, this was one of the first questions I was asked. After seeing versions of SharePoint all these months, it never occurred to me that the dropdown list wasn’t there any more until someone pointed...
UPDATED 8/3/2011: DocId Enterprise Search is one of my favorite SharePoint topics to speak about. Often in my talks, I use various keyword queries to display results that people often end up asking me about. Today, I thought it would be useful...
I had the opportunity to give two talks at NWA TechFest yesterday in Rogers, AR. It was a pretty good event organized by the one and only @DavidWalker . I got to meet a lot of new people and talk about all sorts of things related to SharePoint...
One of the things that drove me absolutely nuts about Enterprise Search in MOSS 2007 was that there was no built-in way to export your managed property mappings and install them on a new server. A third party utility on CodePlex helped, but it was...
A while back, Kevin Williams pointed out to me that certain web sites could be searched in Google Chrome using the syntax <ur> query in the address bar. For example, once I have been to youtube.com, I can later type in youtube to initiate a search...
