MCMS connector for SharePoint Internals...
|
|
| Stefano 2004-10-26, 7:46 am |
| Hi all,
I would like to know more about MCMS connector for SharePoint.
In particular, I need to know the internal functionality of:
SearchPropertiesSetup.exe and SearchPropertyCollection.xml
What does this tool do? How does it interact with SharePointa and
PortalSite?
How can I extend the collection xml file with my own custom meta tags?
I don't need advanced search. But I need to improve search functionality, to
receive better results.
So, I'm thinking to use SearchPropertiesSetup.exe tool, to say to SharePoint
what are the meta tags that I'm using for storing important information
about the page, to include this information in the index.
I would like to use at least:
KEYWORDS
and
DESCRIPTION
meta tags.
I programmatically (so not using SearchMetaTagGenerator) generate the
content of these two meta tags, for each page.
So... I'm thinking to modify SearchPropertyCollection.xml as follow:
---------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<SiteDefaults>
<PropertyDefinitions>
<PropertyDefinition
uri="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:htmlinfo:metainfo:DESCRIPTION" type="string"
name="Description" indexable="1" retrievable="1" />
<PropertyDefinition
uri="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:htmlinfo:metainfo:KEYWORDS" type="string"
name="Keywords" indexable="1" retrievable="1" />
</PropertyDefinitions>
</SiteDefaults>
---------------------------------------
and then apply it to SharePoint Portal Server using
SearchPropertiesSetup.exe.
Am I right?
Will SharePoint Portal Search give more importance to these 2 properties
(description and keywords) when performing searches?
If yes, so...can I be sure that I'll receive more relevant results?
Thank you so much.
Bye
Stefano

| Hello Stefano,
I don't have a specific answer for you, but I built my own search component for an MCMS site that uses SharePoint Portal Server's search web service. You have much more control than the connector's search component (more control over the display of the s
earch results, what search group to select, etc). Check my blog for the article: http://andrewconnell.com/blog/archi...07/15/406.aspx.
There are also links to other who did this.

| Thank you so much.
It's a start point for me.
I developed my own search controls based on SPS search web service, too.
