• Dealing with that pesky SharePoint server in another time zone

  Working at an International company now, I found that I was often running into issues looking at the time stamps of documents.  Our collaboration server was in EST while I was in CST.  It could be confusing at times when you were working on...

• Using Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Templates to deploy a web part in SharePoint 2007

  That’s a mouth full.  I always suspected it was possible to use Visual Studio 2010 to package up my SharePoint web parts and other artifacts into a solution (.wsp file) and turn around and deploy that code into MOSS 2007.  Today I gave it a...

• How to: Create an OpenSearch Provider for SharePoint

  A while back, Kevin Williams pointed out to me that certain web sites could be searched in Google Chrome using the syntax <ur> query in the address bar.

  Last weekend, I gave my introduction to Enterprise Search talk where I showed the basics of using search.  One of the topics I covered is how to use federated search to display results from an external web site.  I’ve seen this topic come up...

• How to: Programmatically set the target audience on a web part

  I’ve been working with audiences again, so I recently wanted to set the target audience of a web part.  Sure anyone can set it in the UI, but I want to automate my deployment, so I wanted to do it programmatically using a feature receiver. ...

• COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action after installing Service Pack 2

  It’s a known fact that MOSS 2007 Service Pack 2 hates me .  Today, I was excited when I upgraded a server to SP2 and the configuration wizard didn’t fail.  I was even more excited to see that my SSP and Central Administration still worked after...

• The basics of working with Scope Display Groups

  I have posted in the past about how to create a scope display group using the API, but I think new users to Enterprise Search could use some information on the basics of working with scope display groups.  The begin with we need to start off by defining...

• Excluding Folders from Search Results

  I see this topic come up quite a bit.  You have a set of search results, and the user just wants to see the documents, not the folder that contains the documents.  Consider the following example, when I query for accounting documents below....

• More on the XSLT behind the CoreResultsWebPart

  A while back, I wrote a post on how to customize the search results page .  I focused on some of the options with the CoreResultsWebPart (or CRWP as I call it), but today I thought of some more things to discuss in regards to the XSLT document that...

• How to: Querying Enterprise Search by Content Type

  A colleague asked me today how he could formulate a search query by content type today.  I figured it was as simple as doing  a keyword query by content source , but wasn’t sure so I decided to go check.  I took a look and there is a ContentType...

• Calling the Enterprise Search web service from Silverlight 3

• How to: Configure Enterprise Search to crawl a web site

  I had a few questions about this recently, so I thought I would write a quick post on it.  It’s actually pretty simple to set up, but I know people like to see instructions with pictures.  It’s really not much different than setting up any other...

• Features I am looking forward to the most in SharePoint 2010

  I’m not privy to the NDA, so I got to look at some of the new SharePoint 2010 ( #sp2010 ) information for the first time with the Sneak Peak videos on the Microsoft site.  I’ll try not to just repeat information in the videos, but tell you what I...

• Disabling Full Text Search with Wildcard Search Web Part Release 5

  I’ve seen quite a few posts in the forums about people wanting to not search the contents of documents.  These people for whatever reason were interested in just the title and path being searched.  Out of the box, this of course is not possible...
