rThese are my notes of the session of Agnes Molnar about SharePoint 2010 search.
- Search technology is something your organization owns and controls.
- Security is important: not everyone may access all the documents.
- Dates are important: in most cases you want the latest files. Sometimes you need the previous version.
- Taxonomy and metadata is important. They can help you find the right information.
- The question is:
- can we have Google in the enterprise?
- or do we need Google in the enterprise?
- Google is internet search, not company search. This is internal search.
- The anatomy of search can be found on http://searchpatterns.org
- Scopes
- enhance the end-user search experience
- create different result pages for different scopes of different content sources. This is important for mapping of the properties and metadata.
- Federation
- Crawled property: metadata extracted from the documents/items during the crawl.
- Managed property: can appear in refined searches and helps the user perform more successful queries.
- you have to create a managed property to refine search.
- you can map one or more crawled properties to one managed property.
- Don’t create managed properties that you’ll not use (index size!)
- You can use ranking to “google-ize” your search results.
