Disable view duplicates search functionality

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:54:21 GMT

Business requirement: Disable view duplicates search functionality When performing a search query in SharePoint, the search results group duplicate search results by default. For me it is unclear which criteria make SharePoint think some search results are duplicates for each other, and hence make SharePoint group them together as one search result. This can be pretty confusing, as end-users not always are finding back everything because some stuff is hidden away in such a grouped search result. For example, ungrouping the above search result reveals following hidden search results: For me, these files shouldn't be grouped together as duplicates in the search results: these files are financial reports for different quarters. The filename as the title of these files are different, nevertheless SharePoint groups these files as duplicates in the search results. End-users not so familiar with SharePoint may overlook the View duplicates link in the search results: as such they may start complaining that they don't find some files they've uploaded before (f.e. here: they may complain they don't find the financial report for Q3-04). Solution: Disable view duplicates search functionality

Solving the Search Results problem when using the free MMLinks localiz

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:12:30 GMT

With the free MMLinks DotNetNuke module, you can replace your standard Text/HTML modules with fully localizable ones, localizing both the title and the Text/HTML part. With one slight defect: Since DotNetNuke's search indexer doesn't know anything about the localized titles, it insists on presenting the default, non-localized module title in the Search Results page (that would be "MMLinks" if you leave it intact).

Using Custom Attributes to Enable Quick Searching of Your Domain Entit

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 09:46:01 GMT

I've started work on the search piece of our application. Searching (no pun intended) for some inspiration on how users might want to search within our application, I brought up the current WinForms version, and then the ASP.NET version. I realized that we need to make searching easier in WinForms client, currently when searching for a patient in our WinForms client, you are presented with a separate text box for first name, last name, SSN, date of birth, and health record number. Our ASP.NET client presents just one text box to search all of those fields.
