Hello

I have a requirement to integrate CMS Search into our application.
Basically, I want to be able to display results from content/files
that are authored/uploaded in CMS.

User's will come to our application and enter search terms. Our search
code will search our internal repository as well as CMS and show an
integrated list of search results. The CMS searches will be shown on a
seperate tab to avoid any differences in the relevancy numbers
returned by our search engine and CMS.

We have our own web crawler, but I dont think it has the capability to
crawl the CMS site (I am not too sure of this). I will try to point it
to the CMS site home page and see if it goes through the whole thing.

I have read that in CMS 2002 the search is powered by Share Point.
Does that mean that if I have to implement the above scenario I have
to basically made a search API call into Share point (provided that
SPS has been configured to crawl CMS).

In the mean time I would appreciate it if someone can provide me feed
back on my approach.

Thanks

Rohan

Hi Rohan,

MCMS does not have an integrated full text search like you are looking for.
But MCMS integrates with any http search engine (like SPS, MondoSearch,
Google, ...).
Limitations might be support of authentication (some crawlers cannot deal
with this).

Cheers,
Stefan.
