Deploying and Supporting Enterprise Search

Published by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server on Jul 16, 2007

The Enterprise Search feature provided in Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 incorporates fast searching and the Indexing Service. Fast searching builds off the Indexing Service of Microsoft Office 2003 to create database catalogs of the Microsoft Office files that are available on a computer's hard disk, in projects, and in SharePoint Web folders. Enterprise Search helps employees to collaborate more easily, reduce duplication of efforts, and perform job functions more efficiently with more depth than in the past. With Enterprise Search, employees can more easily find the people, information, tools, and software necessary to perform their day-to-day job functions. Employees can be more productive and improve the quality of their work without relying on others to assist them in completing their tasks.
