Recently got a customer who was having a very simple code in an application page (in _layouts folder) to find the crawled properties, which are mapped to a managed property in Search Service Application (in SharePoint 2010) as given below: 1: SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPServiceApplicationProxyGroup.Default, SPSiteSubscriptionIdentifier.Default); 2: SearchServiceApplicationProxy searchProxy = context.GetDefaultProxy( typeof (SearchServiceApplicationProxy)) as SearchServiceApplicationProxy; 3: SearchServiceApplicationInfo ssai = searchProxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo(); 4: SearchServiceApplication application = Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchService.Service.SearchApplications.GetValue<SearchServiceApplication>(ssai.SearchServiceApplicationId); 5: Schema sspSchema = new Schema(application); 6:   7: ManagedPropertyCollection managedProperties = sspSchema.AllManagedProperties; 8:   9: foreach (ManagedProperty managedProperty in managedProperties) 10: { 11: string managedPropertyName = managedProperty.Name; 12:   13: //check to see if the managed property is mapped to one of our crawled properties 14: foreach (CrawledProperty crawledProperty in managedProperty.GetMappedCrawledProperties(managedProperty.GetMappings().Count)) 15: { 16: if (!mappings.ContainsKey(crawledProperty.Name)) 17: { 18: //if it is and has not yet been added to the list of managed fields, add it 19: mappings.Add(crawledProperty.Name, managedPropertyName); 20:   21: } 22: } 23: } Now when we hit the line 14 ( ManagedProperty.GetMappings() .Count), it always returns 0 (zero) as Mappings count. Now I am the Farm Administrator and the Service Account but still I am not able to pull in the data. If I am logging into SharePoint Central Admin, I am able to see all the mappings from the SharePoint UI.

Like the entire blogosphere , I wanted to check out Bing Visual Search for myself this morning. So I clicked on www.bing.com/visual search only to be disappointed with the following: So I quickly changed the default country to the US ands voila, works fine ! This new Bing feature is just something you have to see …. 1

Bing miał dobry start, od razu została zauważona znacząca poprawa w wielu aspektach od UI do najważniejszego – wyszukiwania.

Windows 7 allows you to create custom search connectors to various OpenSearch standard search engines, e.g. Bing and you guessed it:  SharePoint!  Creating a search connector is super easy! 1.  Open Notepad and copy in the XML below 2.  Replace the areas in red with your SharePoint Search Center information.  Be sure to only replace just the part of the URL that gets to your Search Center:  e.g.  http://sharepoint.company.com/SearchCenter   You can also change the scope:  e.g.  &s=Intranet  or  &s=All%20Sites  or even  &s=People 3.  Save the file as:    SharePointSite .searchConnector-ms 4.  Copy the file to your “Searches” directory  e.g.   c:Users<username>Searches Optional:  you can add a shortcut the favorites area on any Windows Explorer window by dragging the Search Connector there. ———————————————————————————— <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <searchConnectorDescription xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2009/searchConnector">   <description> Search SharePoint Site </description>   <isSearchOnlyItem>true</isSearchOnlyItem>   <domain>http://sharepoint.company.com</domain>   <supportsAdvancedQuerySyntax>false</supportsAdvancedQuerySyntax>   <templateInfo>     <folderType>{8FAF9629-1980-46FF-8023-9DCEAB9C3EE3}</folderType>   </templateInfo>   <propertyStore>     <property name="OpenSearchHTMLRolloverTemplate"><![CDATA[ http://sharepoint.company.com/SearchCenter /Pages/results.aspx?start=1&k={searchTerms} &s=All%20Sites ]]></property>   </propertyStore>   <locationProvider clsid="{48E277F6-4E74-4cd6-BA6F-FA4F42898223}">     <propertyBag>       <property name="LinkIsFilePath" type="boolean"><![CDATA[true]]></property>       <property name="OpenSearchShortName"><![CDATA[ SharePoint Site ]]></property>       <property name="OpenSearchQueryTemplate"><![CDATA[ http://sharepoint.company.com/SearchCenter /_layouts/srchrss.aspx?k={searchTerms} &s=All%20Sites &u=&start={startIndex}]]></property>       <property name="MaximumResultCount" type="uint32"><![CDATA[100]]></property>     </propertyBag>   </locationProvider> </searchConnectorDescription>

At first, I thought this sounded like only half an idea. There are already some great Twitter clients in the Mac software space, most of which have integrated search functions built right in, so how does Incoming! carve out a niche by offering search alone?

It’s happening…   slowly … but it’s happening.   Attention in search is finally shifting from a focus on low-level features and relevancy models to looking at the whole user experience for information access
