Project Description
SharePoint Search Admin is a windows form based tool to manage Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Search Server 2008 search functions. It can manage content sources, schedules, and crawl status. Please note that source code is included in release packages.

(Formerly named MOSS Search Admin)

Some additional functions which default SharePoint Server interface cannot provide:
Add/Schedule Custom Content Source
Add multiple Lotus Notes Content Source by one click
Add multiple Lotus Notes DB to single Content Source(Notes/Custom)
Schedule all types of content sources without webpage javascript errors

For MS internal questions, please contact: Jie Li (GCR)@MSFT.
Others please post your questions on discussions.

A small set of features will be added in the coming days. For example, detect start addresses that are already in the content source.

The whole UI will be complete rewritten in the next major release to provide a full function search management UI.

Dear,

first of all I would like to congratulate you for the good work, it really looks nice as it is. I would like to ask a question about something that I would like to create for Sharepoint Search. As I was working on a project for a client the need to search a form authetication site (DotnetNuke) in Sharepoint came up. After the installation of a patch the code functionality to add a crawl rule and pass the forms credentials are added to my sharepoint server. Do you have the intention to add this functionality to your tool?

Regards,
Lou

Hi Lou - after apply SharePoint SP1 that has been a part of search settings interface - when you click crawl rules, you will see you can specify different kind of authentication method.

and just a few more things - in some customer engagement, we found not all the things we needed to support FBA can be done with this new update. Sometimes tools like GrabberX is still needed.

Updating...
