Is anyone using MS Search Server (either the enterprise or express edition) for their search engine on dotnetnuke?

How easy is it?

How good is it?

Are you using it from multiple portal sites?

Thanks much,


Clyde

Easy, good, not DNN.  It's a Sharepoint server.  We use it to search file/folder content.

I was wondering about it and how easy it ties in to DNN.  Don't they have 3 different options, express, enterprise, and sharepoint?

I'm not sure whether you are stating that their express or enterprise search server won't work with dnn or whether the version you have is their sharepoint search server?

Thanks again,


Clyde

All three options are Sharepoint, either Sharepoint Server or Windows Sharepoint Services.  Sahrepoint Enterprise search is overkill for searching a DNN site  Sharepoint Server search spiders Sharepoint sites better than Express, but not sure if external sites are any different.

Frankly, Sharepoint Search Express is free, try it.  Plan on a large database, and it may give different results from a DNN search since it doesn't searc h the DNN database, only the material it can spider.  Personally, for search a DNN site better than a DNN database search tool, I'd go to a Google solution.
