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...
I was working on updating my Search demo for #spshou and my BCS search results were really ugly. I didn’t have a default action specified on my search results, nor did I have a profile page, so instead the search results would give me the BDC protocol...
When I was mapping some managed properties from one of my Content Sources using the BCS, I noticed that the crawled properties were named slightly different in SharePoint 2010. I thought this was worth a quick note, so here we are. In MOSS...

I’m not privy to the NDA, so I got to look at some of the new SharePoint 2010 ( #sp2010 ) information for the first time with the Sneak Peak videos on the Microsoft site. I’ll try not to just repeat information in the videos, but tell you what I...
