Сум бил среќа да имаат можност да работат на брза <–> SharePoint integration project and thought I’d continue to share my limited experience with the community.
Microsoft is in the process of purchasing БРЗО. I don’t know anything about the schedule except that it should be finished in the "2nd quarter" which I assume means by 06/30/08.
Мојот проект е дизајнот, на многу високо ниво, повици за создавање на неколку веб делови кои имаат приближно ист изглед, се чувствуваат и функционалност како стандард Мос полето за пребарување и основни резултати веб дел, but pulling from FAST. I’ve made some baby steps in that direction.
FAST is a dedicated search engine. It’s not based on Microsoft technology, иако тоа е очигледно за мене дека некои од БРЗО инженери јасно се разбере MS тек (или тие го направија употреба на изведувачи).
БРЗО:
БРЗО е голем чудовиште сервер производ (и не мислам дека во лоша смисла; Мос е голем чудовиште производот за мене, како и). It appears to be based on Java and I noticed some apache stuff and maybe some PHP. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other bits of tech mixed in here and there. It definitely runs on windows server and is working fine in the virtual environment which I’ve been using.
It makes use of a facade web service that crawls SharePoint content for indexing in its special FAST way.
A SharePoint end user would be pretty much at home with FAST’s user interface. It has simple/advance search, shows results, is big on relevancy (though I don’t see how it handles social relevancy). Сепак, it does go further. Its stemming seems better. I really can’t articulate it well but I’ll just say "it’s better." You can take my word for it, or not 🙂 I may elaborate on this point in the future, as I learn more.
Мос:
FAST provides a .NET-friendly DLL that provides an interface to the FAST engine. This makes it possible for us to create web parts or application pages or whatever we want to query FAST and present the results.
There seems to be a web service interface as well.
I also have access to a FAST-provided web part that does integrate MOSS and FAST. I don’t know if this is a POC, something that was whipped up as a demo or what. It’s definitely a good learning tool, not so sure if it’s production-ready.
That’s it for now. As I progress through the project, I’ll post more.
