Category: General

Categories and tags are the two default taxonomies that we use at the European SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure Community website. By design, all posts must be filed under at least one category. As you can imagine, ‘General’ is where we can list almost any topics that is not filed under the other subject headings.

However, some subjects are wide and broad in subject and need to be included in our blog, but don’t quite fit under the existing taxonomies. Hence the ‘General Category’. Content covered can vary from a .NET Runtime for AOT to a SharePoint Conference North America Keynote Summary, Pulse Survey or monthly top SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure resources.

The search engine in the company
Foremost there is the content; it is through him that everything begins. Such an infection in the information system, it multiplies, spreads, invaded all parts of the system. Then it embeds itself, and moves when you think he is gone we realize that it never dies. Soon users are suffering from a disease: “Searchite” acute. They search tirelessly, continuously, but cannot find or just what they need. And this time to search and navigate the maze of directories is a huge loss for the company, a mess. As well as sesame is finally located, the user does not have the certainty of having the latest version of this content. To overcome this aberration there are tools “search engines”.
