Having an issue updating querysuggestions.aut with your own query suggestions?
The reason is probably that the matcherserver process is running.
To resolve it, simply stop the matcher server, then update querysuggestions.aut and start the matcher server back up again.
When you’re configuring crawling for FSIS it can take some time if you’re a newbie.
The crawler config is not for the faint of heart.
The simplest way I’ve found to monitor the crawling whilst initially configuring it is to just open up a fiddler (www.fiddler2.com) session from the box that is doing the crawling.
Yes it will slow down crawling slightly – and yes you will need to keep an eye on memory usage if you’re crawling many pages per second.
However, it will be a valuable tool in your arsenal to monitor the crawling quickly and drill into any authentication issues and notice 404 errors coming through.
Well Boston Dynamics have created something amazing.. “Big Dog”… a robot that can climb in the woods, “walk” through snow and ice.. and most impressively, keep its balance after being kicked by a human!

Question: How to find all ContentByQuery web parts for a Farm?
Answer:
If you add a web part to a page and it wasn’t written correctly you may experience an issue where the whole page doesn’t load.
When this happens, the simplest way to solve the issue is to perform the following steps:
If you’re ever working with a site that just won’t load and you don’t know it’s structure, you can (if it isn’t severely busted) still attempt to access other pages by manually navigating to the “View All Site Content” page, by adding _layouts/viewlsts.aspx to the end of the site URL.
E.g. http://intranet/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx
If you still have troubles with the site, then you can attempt to navigate to the site settings page and modify the settings that might be causing the issue by adding _layouts/viewlsts.aspx to the end of the site URL:
E.g. http://intranet/_layouts/settings.aspx
On FAST ESP, there used to be a technique to get back all documents in your index – enter the minus character, followed by a term that wouldn’t be in your index.
For example: -394kidfdkadkfl2k2
This would bring back all documents.
In FAST Search for SharePoint 2010, this does not work.
The trick instead, is to simply enter the hash character ( # ) by itself / without the parenthesis in the search query textbox.
Have you ever wanted to remove the annoying “Powered by InfoPath” logo that users see when accessing InfoPath forms in the browser?

On SharePoint 2007 every now and then you may have a need to delete the SSP so that you can then recreate it.
The trouble is that deleting it through the UI isn’t very reliable. However, it is reasonably straightforward to do so using stsadm, using the following command line syntax: stsadm -o deletessp -title “[SSP Title]” -force -deletedatabases
For example: stsadm -o deletessp -title “SSP01″ -force -deletedatabases
As a best practice, SharePoint should be installed using a SQL alias.
Think of a SQL alias like a DNS record, but also being able to refer to a specific SQL instance name.
If you need to upgrade database servers in the future, you will usually be keeping the existing DB server in place, and creating a separate DB server environment (e.g. SQL 2005 vs SQL 2008). If you had your SharePoint installation configured with the server name details of the SQL 2005 environment, then now you have to undertake a long and arduous process to move to 2008.
If you configured the environment with a SQL alias – then you can just go and update the alias on each of the SharePoint servers to point at the new SQL 2008 environment. Much simpler!!
Note: When installing SharePoint with a SQL alias, you need to make sure that you set up the alias on EACH and EVERY SharePoint server. Miss one and the box won’t be able to connect to the required database server(s).
