What I want to do
I have some files (jpg, doc) with keywords in theirs file attributes (visibles in the Windows Explorer, in the files properties). I want to be able to find them in a Sharepoint Search website from these keywords. Unfortunately, I don't find a way to set the crawl engine to index this file attribute.
What I've done for now
In the Sharepoint Search Administration I've created a source content from a files share. After a full crawl I can now find my files from their filename, title, author... through a Sharepoint Search website.
Any idea ?
thank you
I found this interesting post : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/feee374d-461e-4340-918a-c360116e3624/including-dockeywords-metadata-for-searching
This is exactly what I want to do but nobody seems to be able to make it work. Microsoft bug ?

do you have any ideas?
I just create our new Sharepoint (online) intranet with new document library. Uploaded new files and reindexed. And now when I try to search something I have results, but can't open it (error message 404 NOT FOUND), but only on some files (specially .pdf formats).
Did someone have same issues? Or do you know best practises for build Document Library and setup searching in Sharepoint?
And do you know how long takes full reindex? (I just uploaded 3pcs of .pdfs)
I tried:
- reindex site,
- rename files,
- remove and upload files,
I am building a custom search application for Sharepoint 2013 (self-hosted). When performing a full-text search, the document URL should not be taken into account. For me, the URL of the document is not only irrelevant, but the search results are also misleading. E.g. if the user performs a keyword search which includes any part of the URL, ALL documents are returned.
To solve this, the URL should
either not be crawled at all OR
excluded from the full text search.
Is there any way to achieve this?
I see the following response on Office 365, which relates to Sharepoint Online -
https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/400899 .
apparently it is not possible there. Is this also true for self-hosted sites? If yes, could you think of a possible workaround?
Thanks
I was trying to find any tool that I can use to create ONET file from the existing SharePoint site. Unfortunately wasn't able to find. Does anybody know anything about that? There should be something besides of manual way to do that... Any MS solutions, third party tools?
As John Saunders is alluding, the simplest approach would be to let SharePoint create it for you. It's not exactly sitting in the site though; you can't just open the site in SharePoint Designer & grab it - but there is a way to get it:
Save the site as a Site Template (with or without content, doesn't matter - but without will be faster/smaller)
Download the STP/WSP from the Site Template (SP2007)/Solutions (SP2010/13) Gallery to your desktop
Change the file extension to .CAB
Use an archive tool (i.e. 7-zip) to unpack the CAB file
Within the unpacked CAB you will see a folder whose name will be the original name of your Site Template + "WebTemplate"
Within that folder will be a sub-folder whose name is just the original name of your Site Template
Within that folder is the ONet.xml file
We have sharepoint site and we are using sharepoint 2007.
We want to keep track of all search keywords which are used by end users to search any document.
How it could be done.Can we use Sql table to store keyword each time we get hit for document search.
Thanks in advance,

These are already stored in the IIS log files (or SQL if you chose to setup up IIS logging that way). You simply need to extract the query from the querystring that is associated with your search pages [ i.e: &q=MySearchTerm ]. A regular expression should do the trick nicely.
open central admin then move to your shared services,under search you will find search usage report there you can fine all searched keyworkds.
I wish to made available a functionality that searches in all pages and content inside all the documents (word, excel, pdf, etc.) present in our SharePoint Server 2007 that all the users uploaded.
Anyone could tell me if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Yes, this is one of the main selling points of SharePoint - that all content, whether pages or documents can be crawled, indexed and searched.
(Most) Office documents are indexed natively by SharePoint, whereas PDFs are an example of a file type that require an iFilter to be installed on the server in order to make the contents searchable.
May as well mention too that search results are security trimmed - users only see search results for content that they have permission to access.
