What is Federated Search? Wikipedia says: Federated searching consists of (1) transforming a query and broadcasting it to a group of disparate databases with the appropriate syntax, (2) merging the results collected from the databases, (3) presenting them in a succinct and unified format with minimal duplication, and (4) providing a means, performed either automatically or by the portal user, to sort the merged result set. http://www.sharepointmn.com
Demo – Federated Search http://www.sharepointmn.com
Search and more… Search can be configured… creatively Search can be configured without deploying code (XSLT) Use SPD to configure XSLT for result Search can be extended Search API / Object Model Search Web Services Managed Properties (This should be a topic for MODIG) http://www.sharepointmn.com

Further Topics and Considerations… • SharePoint Search Architecture, Taxonomy and Design • Operational and governance topics • ‘Findability’ • XSLT results page configurations • Using data forms for results • Configuring Best Bets • Configuring the Thesaurus and Noise words • Managed Properties, BDC and search • Search Web Parts in depth • Configuring and customizing Advanced Search • Administration controls • More scenarios… http://www.sharepointmn.com
