Previous post: Search query results in 100 percent cpu time
No solution so far. I took these steps but no results:
Search query role
Assigned the search query role to the Application server, previously it was assigned to both Web Front Ends. Same result: very high cpu utilization during search queries.
Custom solutions
To exclude an error in one of [...]

I’m having, well to be precise the SharePoint farm I’m dealing with, performance issues with SharePoint 2007 search queries. Let me introduce the farm first to give you an idea:
2x WFE
CPU 4x Xeon 2 GHz E5504 (1x CPU quad core), 24 GB RAM
Hardware load balanced
OS Windows 2003 R2 SP2 x64
SP2007 untill April 2010 CU
both search query [...]

At the moment I am installing a SharePoint 2007 farm with the Index server role at the Application server and the Query server role at the Web Front Ends. Because I did not configure anything with SSL in the first place, this causes some errors in the eventlog.
This event is 6482 (with two different descriptions):
Event [...]

The EasyAssist call with the Microsoft Engineer is finished. It seems that a proxy setting caused all the trouble. We went through a lot of settings like BackConnectionHostnames, DisableLoopbackCheck, crawl rules, security settings on the databases etc.
But using the commandline tool proxycfg triggered it. See the screenshot below. The proxycfg command shows if there are [...]

At the moment we have a call for this at Microsoft. Their first idea was to enable DisableLoopbackCheck. DisableLoopbackCheck has already been configured (also backconnectionhostnames by the way).
Some additional info, these error/warning appear in the applicationlog when a Full crawl is started (all errors are in Dutch because I work for a government department but [...]

Hello readers. I need some help with a very strange problem I have come up to at a customer farm.
The error that I am researching occurs when SharePoint crawls the default content source which is, in my test farm, a normal non-edited publishing portal. The error that appears in de crawl log is “The crawler [...]

For a client I am building a Proof of Concept SP2010 site. In this site almost every piece of information like documents, blogposts etc have to tagged. In several sites they want to see an aggregation of certain tags.
There is for example a site where they want to see all new information about 3 sectors:
Companies [...]

Found a useful script to remove the “This Site” option from the search drop down list in SharePoint 2007. Here it is (add this to your masterpage):
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function SearchScDDLInj()
{
var srhScDDL = document.getElementById(”ctl00$PlaceHolderSearchArea$ctl01$SBScopesDDL”);
srhSpDDL.remove(0);
}
SearchScDDLInj();
</script>

The STS3S protocol is used for crawling SharePoint content that is exposed using SSL, without having to have URL links that lead to every possible content item in the web site. This protocol is used to index WSS 3.0 server farms using SSL (which MOSS 2007 is layered on top of ) STS3S protocol achieves [...]
Only until now I realize that there is a dependency between the user information list and crawling the site. After a full crawl the user information list is updated with information in the User Profiles.
In a customer farm there are some accounts in the Imported User Profiles list where the display name is in the [...]
