Overview:

One of the strengths of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 as an information management system is its ability to pull information from external sources (without actually moving it to the portal site's database), then include the information in searches with the results displayed in a result set, thereby greatly expanding the usefulness of the portal site. This sample chapter from Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies Resource Kit discusses tools for managing external content in Microsoft Office Sharepoint Portal Server 2003. For administrators, the chapter covers the creation and management of content sources, search scopes, search groups, and index files. It also discusses ways to craft the result set for end users, including the use of the thesaurus, the noise word file, keywords, and Best Bets. The chapter also examines how end users would execute queries in the Search Web Part and outlines considerations when training end users for this activity in the portal site.
