Who Should Read This Book (excerpt)
We wrote this book for people actively implementing search
solutions using FS4SP and for people who simply want to learn more
about how FS4SP works. If you are a Share-Point architect or
developer implementing FS4SP, this book is for you. If you are
already using SharePoint search and want to know what
differentiates it from FS4SP, this book explains the additional
features available in FS4SP and how you can take advantage
of them.
If you are a power user or SharePoint administrator maintaining
an FS4SP solution, this book is also for you because it covers how
to set up and maintain FS4SP. This book covers basic FS4SP
installation but does not discuss the details of how to set up an
FS4SP farm; that information is covered in detail at Microsoft
TechNet. In
this book, we have expanded and filled out the information
available on TechNet and MSDN to provide valuable real-life
tips.
