3. What you’re going to learn…
Session Objectives:
Understand the concept of search with the BDC
And understand the practical side of things
Understand the concept of federation
And how our enterprise search applications support it
Key Takeaways:
BDC & Federation let you leverage a broad range of data sources through Enterprise Search
They are both very valuable tools in your Enterprise Search toolkit

6. Why use the BDC for Search?
Allows surfacing of structured data from back-end applications without “developer” coding
Provides built-in support for displaying and searching data from databases and Web services
Eliminates the need to write custom IFilters or protocol handlers
Relatively easy to configure and customize
Can provide rapid and tangible value

7. How do I do it? Plan for capacity and load
Determine which entities should be indexed
Create a BDC application definition file
Import & configure BDC application
Configure security (Application & Custom Trimmer)
Create content source and start crawl
Check security
Create & configure managed properties
Configure Search Center UI
Unleash your users

9. Federation – why bother?
Valuable enterprise data and information is stored across many disparate repositories
Can be difficult to crawl some repositories due to size, security, cost, politics, lots of other reasons
Many repositories already have search capabilities, why reinvent the wheel…
It makes a lot of sense in some scenarios to be able to search across everything from one place
Writing & deploying client-side code is hard for developers

10. How federation works… Based OpenSearch (http://opensearch.org)
Find an OpenSearch compliant Server
http GET request
2. Create Open Search Definition file
3. Deploy on clients (which can also be servers)
Results (RSS, ATOM…)
Based OpenSearch (
Supported by SharePoint 2007, Search Server 2008, Windows 7, IE7+ & FAST ESP out-of-the-box
Here’s an overview of what it takes to get federated search up and running in a new environment. For each of the steps in this diagram, I’ll show you some follow up slides with more details.
1 - First you have to enable the servers to accept remote queries from the Windows 7 client.
2 - Then you have to create the OpenSearch description files that describe how to connect to your server.
3 - Next you deploy these to the client machines
Now you’re ready for a user to do a query. Here’s how the client machine connects to the server:
1 - As you saw earlier in the demo, the user types a query. It’s converted into an http query to the server.
2 - The server then responds by sending back a page of RSS results. The client then parses the RSS and shows the user the list of results like you saw in the demo.
A few notes about the protocol we’re using. We’re using OpenSearch, which is a light-weight protocol developed originally by Amazon. It’s built using mature http and RSS web standards. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint Search Server 2008, Windows7, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Exploerer 8 all support it. Deployment doesn’t require installing any client code.

Now let’s talk about each of these steps above to get a better sense for what it takes.

11. OpenSearch explained…
Simple standard that can leverage other simple standards such as RSS & ATOM
Simple XML Description Document
Defines URL to send query to
Schema to expect results back in
Plus other parameters
Plus custom extensions
Description Documents “Installed” on clients
Client can also be servers, e.g. SharePoint
.FLD files will become .OSDX going forward

13. Microsoft’s federation strategy…
Use OpenSearch across multiple products
SharePoint Server 2007 & Search Server 2008
FAST Products (ESP, Unity)
Internet Explorer (IE7, IE8)
Windows 7
Extend OpenSearch where necessary
Triggers, Results XSL, Property Mappings, etc
