  7. What is Enterprise Search • Why not use Google Appliance aka “Google Box”? • Why not use open source engine like Lucene? • Why SharePoint search isn’t enough? • Do I need taxonomy & faceted search? • Can users just go ahead and tag everything?

  8. Enterprise is not just a large Intranet • Large volumes of data • Usually there exists a “right” or highly relevant document • Security is critical • Taxonomies and vocabularies are important • Dates are important • Corporate data does have structure • Search is convenient for surfacing content • Search is promising for future BI applications

  9. Search Scenarios • Two types of scenarios in an enterprise: • Productivity search • Intranet/team collaboration search • People search/Social computing • Site search • Search applications • Parts search (fuzzy search requirement) • Intelligence & Investigation (heavy use of entity extraction) • IP protection • Compliance/Records management • E-commerce • Knowledge management & Support • BI applications

  10. Microsoft Search Technologies • Desktop search, successor of Index Server • SQL Server Search – Full Text Search (FTS) • Exchange Search – uses same iFilters as SharePoint • Bing (formerly live search) • Bing + Yahoo = 9.5% • SharePoint & FAST Search

  11. SharePoint 2010 Search Technologies • Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (Free) • Single site collection, 10 million items • No external search • Automatic configuration • Microsoft Search Server 2010 Express (Free) • Enterprise-level search, 10 million items but single search server only • No people search • Microsoft Search Server 2010 • Enterprise-level, redundancy support, 100 million items • No people search • Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 • 100 million items, added people search, tagging • Microsoft FAST Search Server for SharePoint • Over 200 million items • Improved and flexible relevancy • Entity extraction • Microsoft FAST ESP Server • Advanced entity extraction • Standalone product

  12. Relevancy • Google: PageRank algorithm • Same approach is used in FAST and SharePoint 2010 • FAST provides ability to dynamically boost rank

  13. Index

  14. Linguistics • Word stemming • Word lemmatization • Word morphology • Collapsing indices

  15. Other Common Search Concepts • Crawling • Querying • Crawled & Managed Properties • Best Bets • Refiners aka Facets • Linguistics: Stemma & Lemma • Entity Extraction

  27. Demo: Search Federation

  28. Connector Framework • Leverage tooling (SPD, VS2010)

  29. Entity Extraction in FAST • Automatically create crawled properties for a given vocabulary • Useful for advanced scenarios: for example 1. Extract property at crawl time, 2. Enrich a property 3. Index enriched property

  30.
