  14. Philadelphia Area SharePoint User Group How to offer related content in SharePoint? Demo www.PhillySharePoint.org

  15. Philadelphia Area SharePoint User Group Suggested / Related Content An issue with the approach When the indexer crawls the pages, it’s includes the related content search results as part of the content, so this may skew search results in the search center. www.PhillySharePoint.org

  16. Philadelphia Area SharePoint User Group Related Content Was this possible in MOSS 2007? Maybe – but… • CoreResultsWebPart has been un-sealed, which means developers can now enhance it. • Enterprise Keywords would have required a lot more effort to implement • The use of Publishing pages was a lot more limited. In 2010, publishing pages and wiki pages are more prevalent, and therefore, it’s easier to “tag” pages in sites like team sites. www.PhillySharePoint.org

  17.
