New SharePoint search blogger

It is always a pleasure to welcome new SharePoint Seach bloggers and so I warmly welcome and recommend Christopher Even's new blog on SharePoint Enterprise Search.

He is very knowledgeable about SharePoint Search with many big Enterprise Search Developments behind him. He is furthermore a top expert on Protocol Handlers and IFilters having developed a generic protocol handler for SharePoint 2003 and 2007. I have seen it in action and it can literally index content (not just data as the BDC) from any external system with full security mapping and the lot. Very cool stuff!! I hope he will blog more about it some day.

Ontolica Video Tutorials

Our technical writer just finished the first Ontolica video tutorial, explaining the process of installing Ontolica for MOSS 2007 and creating a new Ontolica search center. We will soon post more tutorials here.

Our technical writer, Karl Maybach, also wrote an excellent administrators guide for Ontolica. It is included in the Ontolica download. He is a freelance writer and the best one you could ever hire. You basically just have to show him your product once and vaguely explain what it does - and he will quickly crank out some excellent manuals teaching you stuff about your own product that you never even realized yourself.
