Why use the BDC for Search? Allows surfacing of structured data from back-end applications without “developer” coding Provides built-in support for displaying and searching data from databases and Web services Eliminates the need to write custom IFilters or protocol handlers Relatively easy to configure and customize Can provide rapid and tangible value

How do I do it? Plan for capacity and load Determine which entities should be indexed Create a BDC application definition file Import & configure BDC application Configure security (Application & Custom Trimmer) Create content source and start crawl Check security Create & configure managed properties Configure Search Center UI Unleash your users

Federation – why bother? Valuable enterprise data and information is stored across many disparate repositories Can be difficult to crawl some repositories due to size, security, cost, politics, lots of other reasons Many repositories already have search capabilities, why reinvent the wheel… It makes a lot of sense in some scenarios to be able to search across everything from one place Writing & deploying client-side code is hard for developers

How federation works… Based OpenSearch (http://opensearch.org) Find an OpenSearch compliant Server http GET request 2. Create Open Search Definition file 3. Deploy on clients (which can also be servers) Results (RSS, ATOM…) Based OpenSearch (http://opensearch.org) Supported by SharePoint 2007, Search Server 2008, Windows 7, IE7+ & FAST ESP out-of-the-box Here’s an overview of what it takes to get federated search up and running in a new environment. For each of the steps in this diagram, I’ll show you some follow up slides with more details. 1 - First you have to enable the servers to accept remote queries from the Windows 7 client. 2 - Then you have to create the OpenSearch description files that describe how to connect to your server. 3 - Next you deploy these to the client machines Now you’re ready for a user to do a query. Here’s how the client machine connects to the server: 1 - As you saw earlier in the demo, the user types a query. It’s converted into an http query to the server. 2 - The server then responds by sending back a page of RSS results. The client then parses the RSS and shows the user the list of results like you saw in the demo. A few notes about the protocol we’re using. We’re using OpenSearch, which is a light-weight protocol developed originally by Amazon. It’s built using mature http and RSS web standards. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint Search Server 2008, Windows7, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Exploerer 8 all support it. Deployment doesn’t require installing any client code. Specs at http://opensearch.org/ Now let’s talk about each of these steps above to get a better sense for what it takes.

OpenSearch explained… Simple standard that can leverage other simple standards such as RSS & ATOM Simple XML Description Document Defines URL to send query to Schema to expect results back in Plus other parameters Plus custom extensions Description Documents “Installed” on clients Client can also be servers, e.g. SharePoint .FLD files will become .OSDX going forward
