Document management, content management and record management can be very difficult aspects of business to correctly implement. One very critical component of successful document management is Search. End users need the ability to be able to quickly and accurately perform searches and sort through relevant results.

Microsoft have incorporated FAST search technologies into the SharePoint platform.  Myriad Technologies, using Microsoft and 3rd party search tools can tailor a search solution to fit all search scopes, from enterprise to small business.

SharePoint 2010 Search

Did You Mean & Related Queries:

Accelerate the time required to find the right answer with a system that uses information from previous queries to suggest appropriate terms and results.

Thumbnails, Previews, View-in-browser:

Thumbnails and previews make the results of a search query visual, allowing users to recognize the right content quickly; viewing in a browser initiates an interactive web experience with documents without opening an Office client application.

Refinement with Exact Counts & Sorting:

With the new refinement panel and sorting capabilities of SharePoint, users can narrow search results and navigate to the right content faster.

Social Behaviour Improves Relevance:

The click-through behaviour of similar search queries affects the rank that documents receive. The more users click on a certain item, the higher its ranking for related queries.

People and Expertise Search:

Capture knowledge not found in documents by searching for people and expertise using SharePoint.

Phonetics & Nickname Expansion:

The people and expertise search engine in SharePoint 2010 uses phonetic matching and nickname expansion to help find the right people, the first time.

Recently Authored Content & Expertise Identification:

Identify the right people and expertise faster with recently authored content and expertise identification. Locate the appropriate contacts using their responsibilities, memberships, past projects, content and other attributes.

Windows 7 Federation:

Search beyond the search centre. Conduct searches from the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop and on Windows mobile devices.
