Project Title: Google Search Integration

The Challenge

The client had internal system based on MS WSS purposed for registration of internal documents, articles and protocols. The system contained documents in different states – simple WSS documents, MS Word and MS Excel attachments, MS PowerPoint slides, HTML pages. The problem was to have quick and reliable search engine within that system with "Google-like" requirement.

The Solution

The challenge here is reliability of search results plus performance of operations. It was required to provide a list of search results (including full-text search) in the manner Google does it, i.e. sorted by relevancy.

Finally it was decided to use existing solution from Google and integrate it into the Windows SharePoint Services system. Google server was used as a core, which was responsible for indexing of internal content and performing search transactions.

So, there was a search query construction page which sent requests to Google Server and presented feedback in required GUI form.
