Is it possible to add an out-of-the-box Bing site search box to my SharePoint extranet and have it actually work? My mind says no, since it can't possibly index my pages, right? Just wanted to know your thoughts.
You can add bing search box and you would get results as well but only pages from your site which are allowed for anonymous access will be crawled by Bing. My question to you is this when share point already provides Such a wonderful search engine why do you need anything else for crawling of your internal content.

I have already hosted my website, and I want to search it from Google.
How can I search?
Is there any need to upload my website to Google?
Yes, at least webmaster submission. Also, read more about the webmaster tool.
Add the proper search term to your searched words:
site:www.your-website.com searchword
You can use Google Webmaster tools for this purpose. Add your website there and you can get very valuable information about the state of your website on Google.
For faster inclusion of all pages of your website on Google database, you can create a sitemap.xml file (if you do not know how you can create it online here) and add it to Google webmaster tools.
You also can see on the Google page, placing the command "site:" before the url of your website in the search field, to view which pages are already indexed.
I'm working on a sharepoint project.
After I adding the search web part. The search function behaves weird.
I have crawled the content source and configured the permission.
The following search bar, no matter what I search, I got nothing
But the advanced search web part can work properly.
The thing is, in the result page of the advanced search web part, if I choose to see the result of my sharepoint website instead of "Any Site", I got nothing. I am sure that the result of "Any Site" is from my sharepoint site.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

You need to check your search log to make sure content is being crawled correctly. It looks like you do not have any results for your a particular site. modify your search webpart to show the scopes drop down an experiment to find out which scopes are not responding correctly and debug from there.
You need to ask this question on serverfault.com or sharepoint.stackexchange.com as this site trys to deal with programming specific errors only.
It sounds like you might be crawling a non default zone. Maybe you're crawling an intranet or extranet zone. Make sure you crawl the default zone and that the default zone has NTLM authentication enabled and that the crawler has access to the web application via full read policy.
If this is SharePoint 2010 Foundation and you have named your documents_with_underscores, the underscores are not word breakers and as a result no matter what you search for "Documents" "with" or "underscores", in that case, would be successful. The word "with" would be removed by the content processor (search query and site settings service) in 2010 and the other two words would not be read as separate words because 2010 foundation would treat documents_with_underscores as one word. If you searched for "documents_with_underscores" you would find it.

Please answer one by one. I search on net lot of but, not found about proper answers of these questions.Please guide me.
I would also like to add my own post - SharePoint Terminology – Farms, Web Front Ends, Web Application and Sites - also covedrs terms like Farm, NLB, WFE, Authorization / Authentication.

Here goes:
A top level site is the rootweb of any site collection. It is generally what we think of when we create a site collection.
A site collection is, well, a container for sites. It always contains at least one site which can, in turn, contain zero or more sites which can, in turn, contain....

After reviewing 3 and 4, you'll know.
A content database holds all (or, at least, nearly all) the content for one or more site collections.

This could be tricky, since "feature" has special meaning in SharePoint, but if you're looking for business-decision-maker-level feature discussions, check out Microsoft's site: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/default.aspx, or this good article from Joel O.: http://www.sharepointjoel.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=267
I am trying to find a search feature that searches all contents, including articles, links, posts, etc. in Joomla. Where is it located?
I am talking about search feature in administration page, not home page. I want to be able to figure out where the content is coming from and its location.
I haven't seen any search capabilities directly in the administration console for Joomla.
The standard search extension you add to the actual site should give you this information though.
I want my sharepoint site to allow a user to search content in a known collection of RSS feeds. I figure conceptually a few ways to do this
crawl the feeds at their source (Yikes!)
Pull the full articles into my sharepoint site, then let my crawler crawl it
Make use of an existing index (like google)
search the full articles, on demand, using something like a google utility (my preference)
So can I somehow, from my sharepoint site, allow a user to search the full articles from a couple dozen, named, rss feeds
thanks

I don't see why there is a problem with crawling the feeds at their source? That would seem to be reasonable.
It is fairly easy to create a content source to point at the feed and select the correct indexing schedule. If that does not work then you can try a more complicated approach.
Be aware that copying the content of another website to host on your own could have copyright implications (not too mention the risk that any inflammatory content would appear to be published on your own site).
--update--
Try reading the target sites robots.txt to see if (it even has one) it has a desired frequency. Otherwise it depends on the depth of the site you would be crawling.
If you are crawling just the rss feed xml, I suspect you could do that every hour without annoying anyone. Otherwise if you reach into each article, you may want to limit that. It really depends a lot on any relationship you have with the target site and type of site you are hitting.
Checkout this article for a little more info on how SharePoint deals with robots.txt
(p.s. the target site did not put the articles on the web so no one would read them)
The out of the box crawler will respect robots.txt and there are provisions for crawler impact rules that will lessen the chance that SharePoint will perform a beat down on the external site.
