NEW! Web Part for Wildcard Search in Enterprise Search

I have had countless people tell me that they want to be able to do wildcard search in MOSS Enterprise Search using the existing Search Center site templates.

Error: HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component

I was working on an Enterprise Search deployment the other day and I encountered this lovely error. I found the answer buried in some forum posts, but I wanted to tell you what side effects I found when implementing the solution (and I wanted to make sure I could find the answer again someday when I...

Don't forget to set your row limit

Recently, I wrote my own control to allow drilldown on Facets for one of our Enterprise Search pages, and someone pointed out to me that it never returns more than 50 results.

Using LINQ to make Enterprise Search Results more usable

In my previous post about using the KeywordQuery class, I had one small omission.
