4. Crawling
◦ A scheduled activity that indexes the content,
meta-data and security.
Index
◦ Processed info
◦ Extremely fast compared to querying source
content
5. Managed Properties
◦ Can be used to query against a specific attribute
◦ 100+ by default, more can be added
◦ Examples:
Author
ContentType
CreatedBy
LastModifiedTime
DocId
FirstName
6. Content Classes
◦ Searches based on Object Type
◦ Examples:
SPSPeople
STS_Site
STS_Web
STS_list_[doccumentlibrary] *
STS_listitem_[documentlibrary] *
* Note name in brackets can be replaced with template name
7. Query Formatting
◦ Limit – 255 characters
◦ Content Classes - ContentClass:Value
◦ Managed Properties - Property:Value
◦ Logical Operators - AND, OR, NOT, +, -
◦ Relational Operators - <, >, <=, >=, <>
◦ Filename – filename:”name”
◦ File Type – filetype:value
◦ Wildcards – Property:Partial Value
Example: “ContentClass:STS_Web AND Blog”
Would return all Webs that have “Blog” in the meta-data.
8. People Search
