Customizing & Governing the
SharePoint® 2010 Search System
by Jean Graef
 |
This electronic book is a unique combination of high-level strategic guidance and over 50 detailed step-by-step instructions. The focus is on SharePoint as a search system (an integrated set of functions) rather than a search engine (a full text search program). The book is intended for cross-functional teams consisting of business analysts, information architects, content and document managers, search administrators, and IT staff. The emphasis is on features that can be customized without programming. |
For sample strategic content, see Search as a system. For sample how-to content, see keywords and Best Bets.
