Search Server 2010, 64-bit, Disk Kit MVL, DVD, KOR New features in Microsoft Search Server 2010 help you to locate more relevant information more quickly and efficiently. The new user interface on the search results page allows you to refine queries by properties such as document type, creation date, or author. Other enhancements include the ability to search by using Boolean syntax, prefix wildcards, and query suggestions. You can also search SharePoint content from a computer running Windows 7.

New user interface

The user interface of the query and search results pages has been updated in Search Server 2010. To help save time and lead you to successful queries, the search box pre-populates with words or phrases similar to those you are typing. For example, after people in an organization successfully find information about a subject such as the company picnic, subsequent users who search for that topic can start typing a few letters of the keyword picnic to see the phrase "company picnic" appear in the query suggestions lists.

The search results page contains the search box and therefore the same query suggestions feature, but it also has a new feature called the refinement panel. If search returns too many results and you don’t find the ones you want, you can use the refinement panel to narrow search to a smaller set of results.

Refinement helps to inform you about what kind of results you have and allows you narrow the results by specific types. Refinements include the result type, such as Web pages and other document types, sites, authors, modified date, and tags. For example, the summary of results in the refinement panel might show that there are many Web pages and presentations in the results set. If you are interested only in presentations, you could click the Presentations link in the result type category.

In a more specific example let’s say Megan wants to find a document written by Mike, a Software Manager. She knows that the document is related to search specifications, so she types search specs in the search box. In the refinement panel, under Site, she sees the name of the division portal that Mike works for, so she clicks it. This action causes the results pane to show only the documents that contain search specifications in that division’s portal. Megan still does not see the document she wants, but in the refinement panel, under Author she sees Mike’s name. After she clicks Mike’s name, all of the documents he wrote, or all of the documents in which his name appears are listed in the search results window. Finally, Megan knows that Mike wrote the document recently, so under Modified Date, she clicks Last Month. This action causes the document she wants to rise to the top of the search results window.

Refinement in Search Server 2010 is based only on the top 50 most relevant results. This means that if you don’t see the refinement option you’re looking for, it might just be further down in the results.

New scope for site searches

In Search Server 2010 when you run a query from the search box on a site, the scope is now automatically set for that site and all of its subsites. When you conduct a search from a site, the results page will maintain the same chrome as the site from which you initated the search. The Search Center is still the best place to query for results from multiple sites.
