SharePoint Life Saver… And It Is Free
June 27, 2008
If you love SharePoint but want to choke the life out of its native search features, take a deep breath and navigate to MSDN Web logs here and the article “Tuning SharePoint Search.” Ian Palangio earns a happy honk from the Beyond Search goose. He identifies a Microsoft document “SharePoint Search Evaluation Guide” and provides the magic page number which provides a starting point for some useful SharePoint search information. One useful example is forcing certain results to the top of a results list. He writes:
This allows administrators to define Best Bets for a specific keyword. For instance if somebody uses the search term “Leave” – then a best bet result that will be the top relevant one is the Leave Form. Keywords can also have Synonyms associated – so that Leave, Vacation, Holiday and Annual Leave all mean the same thing for search results.
Useful write up.
