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.

Features

Consistent Search

While Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint

Experience

Portal Server 2003 used common Microsoft Search technology, users

New

found the two search environments to be quite different from one

 

 

another. In addition, administrators needed to use different tools to

 

configure and manage each environment.

 

Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services now use

 

a common implementation of Microsoft Search. Both users and admini-

 

strators use a common set of tools to configure and use Microsoft Search.

 

 

 

Relevance

Microsoft Search includes a revamped ranking engine developed in

 

Enhanced

collaboration with Microsoft Research and MSN Internet Search. It is

 

 

specifically tuned for the unique requirements of searching enterprise

 

content and LOB application data. These requirements include:

 

• Searching document content and LOB application data in addition to

 

 

Web content.

 

• Producing high-relevance search results despite the lack of rich linking

 

 

information available in document content and LOB application data.

 

• High security and content access controls.

 

Specific new content relevance algorithms include:

 

•

Click distance

 

•

Hyperlink anchor text

 

•

URL surf depth

 

•

URL text matching

 

•

Automated metadata extraction

 

•

Automatic language detection

 

• File type relevancy biasing

 

•

Enhanced text analysis
