SharePoint 2010: Crawl External Content Using Link to Document Content Type #bpc11

He highlighted the basic overall principles of how SharePoint 2010 search works on the back end and some common pitfalls that can happen in any firm when implementing search.

I should note, however, that I hardly created the site proper; full credit goes to Eric Harlan for giving birth to the site, and for providing secure logins to me and to the rest of the gang. A tip of the hat must also go to Fpweb.net for donating hosting services for the STP site, and for providing the sharp looking tour logo.

Regular readers are aware that I pretty much represent the average SharePoint end user, so when the STP guys asked me if I'd take responsibility for the creation of the site from a content perspective, I was more than happy to do so.

Essential SharePoint 2010 Training Resources - SharePoint 2010. As an engineer here at Bamboo, I have been learning SharePoint 2010 over the past year or so and, during that time, I've come across many helpful websites and resources that I've been adding to my "Favorites" all over the place.
