The search component of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has been significantly enhanced by this
release of SharePoint Products and Technologies. The new features provide a consistent and familiar search
experience, increased relevance of search results, new functions to search for people and expertise, ability
to index and search data in LOB applications, and improved manageability and extensibility.
Business Data Search
The Business Data Search feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 makes it easy to index and search
any relational database or other information store accessible by ADO.NET or a Web service; for example, data
in a CRM system.
There is no need to write custom protocol handlers or IFilters or create searchable HTML representations of
information in a database.
Search results from Business Data Search can be highly customised and fully integrated with search scopes and
other Search Center features.
Index Management
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007's improved Indexing Management controls provide better control over what
is to be indexed, how it is to be indexed, and when. Microsoft Search provides a single indexing and search
infrastructure that effectively scales from the desktop, through team sites and divisional portal sites, to the
largest corporate intranets, extranets, and Internet presence websites.
Microsoft Search
Microsoft Search provides a significantly enhanced user experience including improved rendering of search
results, improved Best Bets keyword searching and auto-generation of 'Do you mean' synonym search keywords.
Users have the ability to subscribe to a search query and receive e-mail alerts when changes occur in the
results of a persisted search query.
People Finding
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007's search component supports searching for people and what they know
has been significantly enhanced. There is now a dedicated Search Center tab for searching for people and
people search results are now grouped by 'social distance' from you and your common interests.
