SharePoint Search: A Six Part Series!
September 2, 2008
When I was growing up on the prairie, my mother and father would as a special treat drop me at the Beverly Theater. For $0.15 I could watch one feature and a serial. The idea was that youngsters like me would come back each week to find out if the hero survived the cliff hanger on which each installment ended. Now SharePoint magazine brings me the equivalent about SharePoint search. I don’t have to pay $0.15. I can navigate here and revel in each installment’s information payload. Who would have thought SharePoint search was so exciting? Well, anyone who has tried to scale SharePoint using the up and out technique and staying below the 40 or 50 million document limit of the system. Oh, there’s also the excitement of creating pages using the two-part method involving “FrontPage” dressed in smart new pants and matching shirt. Also, there’s the issue of getting my old pal SQL Server to respond quickly. I want to add the thrill of chasing down security setting if some helpful person makes a local security change on one of the servers hosting a “site” and its content. The series is part of the Arno Nel Web log here. The first installment called “Customizing Search Series—Introduction” is here in theory. It’s about:
MOSS Search capabilities and its customization. This article serves as an introduction to search and will define several key items within the administration and configuration thereof.
When I accessed the site on August 30, 2008, I got a blank page and a time out. SharePoint fans will recognize that issue. Today (September 1, 2008), I am getting a very helpful 404 error. Give the urls a whirl. If the site is down, you are getting some insight into the behavior one often confronts in a full scale SharePoint search deployment. Enjoy.
