Out-of-the-box, the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server comes with a search engine, which is the 2008 Search Server. It’s capable of crawling different content sources via http, by requesting the page, indexing it and visiting links on the page after that if you prefer to. Now within SharePoint sites this is all pretty straightforward. The crawling of internet

These last couple of days, we’ve been working on fixing a bug. The application it occured in works together with a Progress proxy object which talks to a Progress database. Because that link isn’t too transparant, it was very difficult tracing the bug and finally coming up with a solution for it. The problem occured

The ‘News site’ site template of MOSS 2007 is probably one of the most used templates for companies which use SharePoint for their internal intranet.

Surfing around the web I stumbled upon this blogpost from Mohamed Ahmed Meligy writing about free stuff from MS. I thought this would be somekind of action I missed out on and was already too late to sign up for. But no! I tried and this link still takes you to a Microsoft site which requires

First of all, I would like to wish you all a happy new year. I know it’s a bit late for that, but I didn’t get (or take…) a chance to post my first blogpost of 2008 earlier. I’m eager to find out what this next year is going to bring us, but I guess I’ll
