26. Adding Custom Web Parts OOB Web Parts use sealed hidden object You’ll need your own query object to share with other Web Parts You *can* use URL request parameters we pass between pages

27. Use Case Office Research Pane Windows Desktop Search Remote application ASP.NET 2.0, WinForms, Java apps Similar features to query object model Results in XML or data table formats http://o12server/_vti_bin/search.asmx

28. Methods Query – returns results as XML format Research and Reference Service- compatible XML Used in the Office Research pane QueryEx – Returns.NET DataSet Different result types, features GetSearchMetaData – Retrieve available properties and scopes Registration Status

29. Any SharePoint site query can be syndicated over RSS Any RSS reader or RSS consumer Web Part can make use of this Caveat: need to authenticate with server

31. MOSS ships with support for Web Content, NTFS File Shares, Exchange Public Folders, Lotus Notes DBs, SharePoint Content, SharePoint Profiles, Business Data Catalog Develop a Protocol Handler to gather data from custom repositories e.g. Vorsite for Documentum Connects to a content source and enumerates the documents Interfaces are the same as in SPS 2003 New registry path: Register PH under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ProtocolHandlers

32. Install OneNote IFilter (requires OneNote on the server  ) Install PDF IFilter (64 bit now available) Develop IFilter for custom file formats Reads a document and extracts the plain text content and properties for the indexer to index Support reading from streams

33. Integration without writing code Information in LOB systems is often hard to access MOSS 2007 can bring that data to your users Data is accessed through the Business Data Catalog Exposed through Search, Meta Data, BDC web parts Once a web service or a relational data source is registered with the BDC, search can easily index the data No need to write code Highly customizable results Integrated with scopes and search center

34. Built-in Query-time security trimming (Same as SPS 2003) File shares, WSS/SPS 2003, Exchange, Lotus Notes (via mapping) New! Support for result time custom security trimming ISecurityTrimmer interface (Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query namespace) Implement Initialize() and CheckAccess() Add the custom security trimmer assembly to the GAC Register the security trimmer using stsadm command

36. Search service People service --- Shared Service Provider (SSP) http://sales http://finance http://hr spsite spweb Web Applications Content Databases External content

37. Content sources Crawl rules File types Crawl logs Content access accounts Property mappings Server name mappings Search-based alerts Scopes Reporting
