Implemeting phonetic search in Dynamics CRM - search

How can I enable phonetic search in Dynamics CRM 2015 on-premise? By phonetic search I mean that the search results will contain also similarly sounding words e.g. Meier, Mayer...

You can't, that isn't a feature of CRM. You would need to build some custom search app to achieve that.

Microsoft Knowledge API - Searching for a sentence in the database

I'm trying to integrate the new Microsoft Knowledge API to my app. I need to search in the database to find results similar to a google/bing search.
So far I've made this request - and its working well:
https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/academic/v1.0/evaluate?expr=And(W=%27bandwidth%27)&attributes=Id,Ti,Y,D,CC,E&subscription-key=MY-API-KEY
According to the documentation W argument is searching only in the title and the abstract, I need to search at the whole paper.
How can i query a sentence from the database?
I work on Academic Knowledge API!
The major role of Academic Knowledge API is to enable semantic search over knowledge graph. For keyword search experience, we are leveraging the full power of Bing Custom Search, a separate service in Microsoft Cognitive Services. You can see how the two APIs can be combined at our Microsoft Academic website using the query like "how to jump higher playing basketball"
We're considering offering Bing Custom Search + Academic Graph as an additional outlet to our Academic Knowledge API!

How to make a diagram for a dashboard in CRM 2011 which includes two or even more entities?

I'm interested in dashboard CRM 2011.
It seems that in order to make it nice to view for users We have to create a specific workflows or FormXML or FetchXML.
I wonder, for instance, to make a diagram for а dashboard IN CRM 2011 which includes two entityes (accounts and contacs, or whatever)?
I guess it could be possible by using FetchXML, however I didn't find any article about that issue.
I know that I make a diagram for accounts and contacts separately and export them in a XML files, so I think there is a way to union the both in one diagram.
There is no specific FetchXml for charts\diagrams so you can search examples of reports using FetchXml in reports. One way to obtain a FetchXml is doing a Advanced Find and download the FetchXml. To join to entities you need use node.
Check some articles that have examples of FetchXml:

FAST Search - What is it and why is it mentioned with Sharepoint?

I've heard about FAST Search recently and trying to make sense of it. Whenever I read about it , Sharepoint is mentioned.
Is this a separate product? How is it related to Sharepoint?
I am interested in learning more about it. Where can I find learning resources for it outside of Sharepoint context?
Thanks
SharePoint's enterprise search offering was non-existent, and there was this really nice product called FAST ESP that Microsoft liked the look of, so they bought the company. When SharePoint 2010 came out they made the connection a little easier to configure, and gave it a SharePoint admin UI.
Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 has the Search feature for intranet and people search. This was enabled by integrating MS Sharepoint and MS enterprise FAST. Microsoft FAST is an enterprise Search product which can be used as a stand alone search product for any website. There is no online documentation source for MS Enterprise Search. It can be compared to Endeca, another enterprise Search product.

How integrate google search into microsoft dynamics crm?

We are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM but a lack of Google like search engine is crippling our productivity. We have nearly 10 years of data but without a good search engine we end up rediscovering solutions.
I was wondering if it is possible to integrate custom Google search to our MS dynamics CRM? If it is possible, how do I go about solving this problem? Any pointers would be helpful.
You can implement a Google/Web search fairly easily by using an HTML web resource. Just go to the search engine you want to use, type in some search text and search for it. From the search results copy the URL. If I search Google for "bacon", this is the URL I get -
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=bacon&pbx=1&oq=bacon&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=undefined&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1252l1954l0l5l4l0l0l0l0l238l673l0.3.1l4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=707818aceea98c40&biw=950&bih=934
In the HTML web resource, you now just need to create a textbox and a search button and wire it up so that when you hit search it generates the URL above replacing "bacon" with whatever was typed in the search box. You can use a javascript window.open(url); to get it to spawn the window with the search results.
Don't know too much regarding a custom Google search, but Leon Tribe (a MVP) has posted a couple of blog posts recently on how to create what he calls a "universal search" facility in CRM - all done using the standard configuration tools within CRM (no custom code required).
It still uses the built in CRM search logic, but rather than searching only across an individual entity, his solution provides an ability to search across multiple entities (including custom ones) from a single search query.
Possibly not the ultimate answer to your problem, but might give you some ideas on something relatively simple to setup, with some degree of improvement, while you investigate more comprehensive options.
