SharePoint Express Installation Tips
May 7, 2008
Brevity is the soul of wit. You can make your SharePoint experience a really happy one, assert Anindya Roy and Vijay Chauhan, in their “Add Search to Your Intranet”. The article appeared on the May 7, 2008, PCQuest Web site.
Beyond Search’s experience with SharePoint suggests that installation, customization, tuning, and troubleshooting are a wee bit more complicated. The authors say:
By using this server you can crawl and index each and every piece of data on your network and storage pools, and make it searchable through a simple but powerful interface. The data which it can index are web sites, file shares, Exchange public folders, Notes Databases, Office files, XML, HTML, text files, etc. … Besides searching the internal company files, Search Server Express has the ability to search external databases and Web sites.
Nary a mention of Fast Search & Transfer or Fast ESP (enterprise search platform). That’s a work in progress, and I anticipate a follow up on that system when it becomes available. In the meantime, figuring out SharePoint Express, MOSS, and ESS is enough work for me.
