Sharepoint Search After Upgrade from SPS2003 to MOSS2007
The Search engine of the Sharepoint is one of the most used features that come with the product. I can still remeber that one of my previous project was to combine SPS2003 Search engine with CMS2002, so that the CMS2002 would have a search option. Due to the fact that MOSS2007 is among other a combination of both the option of Upgrade is one of the talked issues regradless to wether it's SPS2003 to MOSS2007 or Biztalk2004 to Biztalk2006 ( There is a relativly small amount of differences between the two, Not "R2" ) or some other application .This is true even in the .NET framework it self , Should I upgrade from 1.1 to 2.0 or should I re-write it all using the new architecture and functionality ?
Here is an article How search features are affected by upgrade which summarizes the difference between how the two different versions store their search configuration information.
