SharePoint Search in Plain English

Paul Galvin pointed me to an article, ‘Best Bets and Keywords in SharePoint and Search Server – “When it Absolutely, Positively, has to be Found” ‘ at The Sanity Point. Woody has just come on my radar screen because of a screencast he did for Mike Gannotti.

This guy’s writing style is great! Even if you don’t know anything about SharePoint, the writing makes it seem so simple you’ll want to try it out. Here’s what Paul Galvin has to say about it:

“This article is sort of admin-oriented, but it’s also the best description of best bets writing I’ve seen in a long time, perhaps ever. And, it has some great examples of how to use it in business terms that never occured to me (such as providing disclaimers when employees search for the word “financials”).”

I don’t think you can get a better recommendation than that. Jump over and check out the article, ‘Best Bets and Keywords in SharePoint and Search Server ‘. Easy ideas to absorb along with a simple, no GeekSpeak writing style. My kind of guy. Thanks Woody.

    All,

    I have talked with many people here in Iraq and the general feeling is “If it were more user friendly”! However, people whom I look up to because of there working knowledge in Word, Excel or Access steer clear when you mention the word “sharepoint”. To me it seems totally out of reason or Microsoft logic to do something as simple as delete an erroneous page in subarea. I was just looking to add document library in a newly created subarea. Go figure!

    I totally understand you have a different program for different applications (Sharepoint) but it would seem that you could get together with the powers to be so you would not have to learn the supposed logic of another (Sharepoint) program. Stumped in Iraq! I do not have the time necessary to devote to the sharepoint program.

    To me it seems quite simple – make using sharepoint seem like childplay – this way more and more people would use sharepoint.
