How to: Specify a Content Source using the Keyword Syntax

At some point you may want to do an Enterprise Search query and specify that the results come from a particular content source. A lot of times you might create a custom scope with that content source in it, but if you don't want to create a new scope, you can just query the content source directly...

Specifying Scope(s) with the KeywordQuery class

Today I realized that when I blogged about how to use the KeywordQuery class, I forgot to mention how to specify the scope(s) you are querying. You would think there would be a built-in property to set this, but there isn't. I wanted to see how Microsoft was doing it so I used reflector and examined...

How to: Use the MOSS Enterprise Search FullTextSqlQuery Class

A while back, I posted a how to on using the KeywordQuery class and it seemed to get pretty good response, so I figured I would post a follow up on how to use the FullTextSqlQuery class today.

Help! My SearchBox Web Part won't Submit

I have caused this to happen a number of times and the answer isn't obvious at first, so I thought I would post on it and explain what causes it and how to fix it. The behavior usually occurs for me when I am deploying a SearchBoxEx web part via a feature using an elements.xml file. What you will...

How to: Delete Crawled Properties

This unfortunately is not as simple as it should be. Out of the box, there is not an option to delete a single crawled property. I sort of understand the reason behind this, but when developing its very easy to get your crawled properties filled with a bunch of garbage as you are trying things out. It...

How to: Use the MOSS Enterprise Search KeywordQuery class

I don't think there are enough complete examples on using the KeywordQuery class out there, so I am posting this today to help out. The example in the SDK is close, but not quite enough.

In MOSS Enterprise Search, the maxium size of a file that it will index is 16 MB. This is probably not an issue for most people, but some organizations do have large PDFs, PowerPoints, etc. This is becoming a little more common knowledge, but I thought I would post it to make more people aware of it...
