WSS Cross-Site Search - free Web Part from CorasWorks


From Todd Bleeker ...

The out-of-the-box SharePoint WSS Search performs a full text search through all of the list items and document libraries (including attachments) in the current WSS site. This search box is found in the upper right corner of a WSS SharePoint web page. Searches via the WSS Search box are limited to the current site. Sub-sites cannot be searched without first going into the sub-site.

The WSS Cross-Site Search Web Part performs the same type of search, except it searches through sub-sites as well. In addition, the starting URL for the search can be customized. As a result, a WSS Cross-Site Search web part placed on one site can search for results within another.

      Mark,

    Obviously things move on. Now users can look to implementing the free M$FT solution of Microsoft Search Server Express 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch/serverproducts/searchserverexpress/default.aspx
