Blog series for customizing SharePoint search results

SharePoint Search Explained

This blog series from Mikael Svenson’s blog is excellent, at least for a less knowledgeable on how on Earth the search works, if it works. TechNet does include a lot of same info and more but this series does make this a bit more understandable. And reading through both has it’s benefits. Rinse and repeat 🙂… Read More »

First try, first fail

Tried 70-346. It was 553 out of 1000, 700 to pass.. Blaeh. There was a lot of questions of AD FS, but apparently that was one of the strongpoints at this time 🙂 Kinda funny as that was what I thought to be weak area but again that was read a bit more with thought for that… Read More »
