Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 provides a very powerful search engine, but the out-of-the-box search features can only take your apps built in MOSS so far. In addition, you can't use the out-of-the-box capabilities in an application that doesn't run in the context of MOSS. This presentation will walk through the MOSS search API (including the search web service) and demonstrate how to execute MOSS searches programmatically. We'll touch on executing Full Text and Keyword searches, as well as writing better code to wrap all types of calls and searches into a reusable set of classes.
