Hi,

I experience 2 problems with the SharePoint Portal Search. I might be
missing something ...

1.
My SPS only allows me to search on the properties of document.
When I try searching on the content of a document, i.e. a word inside a
Word-document, no results are returned. I thougth IFilters for office
documents were default installed with SharePoint ? What parameter did I miss
? I tested it searching for the whole word as it exists in the document.

2.
The administrator guide of SPS2003 explains that, to narrow your search, you
can type more than one word in the simple search box. I.e. instead of
"project", you type "project management customer". According to the guide,
this is a AND-relation, no OR. But when I type more words, the number of
results grows ! This can't be normal, does it ?

Hope someone can help,

Thanks !

re: 1) If metadata is being included in the index then there must be a
problem with the iFilters on the Indexing box. Have you checked the
Gatherer log information? (Office document iFilters are delivered ootb with
SPS)

re 2) If you enter keywords into the search box, without quoting them, then
you are OR'ing your search. If you quote "" you search keywords, then it
will search for the exact term.
