Chapter 9. Using Enterprise Search
By John Alexander
An important part of content management support for a portal is the ability to search. Enterprise Search is a term for using technologies to gather and index content across the entire enterprise and make it accessible for use in governing and running the enterprise. To accomplish this, the content is "crawled" or retrieved by the search engine before the content is analyzed for indexing.
Search capability has been greatly enhanced in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. With Enterprise Search, you are now able to crawl several different content sources, configure enhanced relevancy information, and set search scopes, all from a consistent search environment between Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
