Off Topic:Guten Morgen Germany

That is good morning in German, the weather is ok, and the food is fine (lots of sausages and beer)...

I'm staying in Darmstadt, located a little south of Frankfurt.
Got here to participate in two webMethods courses at SoftwareAG (yep, I know...it's not part of the MS technology) and till now it's interesting and easy.



Darmstadt is a small city and most pedestrians don't speak English and guess what - my German is not so good either....so it's a little bit difficult to manage around.

I'm planning to visit here the original Castle Frankenstein and to visit Heidelberg on the weekend.

If you happend to see me down the street....say hi :-)

MOSS Search for emails and attachments context

Some of our customers requested to have the ability to search context within email messages and within its attachments.

Searching the web for a solution came with results that indicate that a third-party development is needed to achieve this ability...
Then I found Gavin Adams post and Tom Vandaele post that wrote that the ability to deep search within msg files is a MOSS out-of-the-box option that need to be configure.

Followed their instructions I tried to search context in a docx file attachment with in a msg file that was uploaded to a document library. I succeed to get the msg file by searching its context , but failed to get results related to the email's attachments.

After some tests of my own, I figure out that the registry should look like that:

1. Make sure that this key exists in the MOSS registry
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.msg
2. Add these keys and values to the .msg
   “Extension”=”msg”
   “FileTypeBucket”=dword:00000001
   “MimeTypes”=”application/msoutlook”

The MimeTypes application/msoutlook is the one I use to gain the deep search ability (couldn't do it using the MimeTypes = application/vnd.ms-outlook)

A note to those of you using hebrew documents, I checked it and it's working for hebrew attachments as well.

File size limitation

Hi all,

Lately I faced a problem when tried to upload a huge size file and got an Oversize limitation error message,
searching the SharePoint administration came out with nothing.

I found the solution within the STSADM.EXE:

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-file-post-size -propertyvalue 120 -url http://myportalserver/

The propertyvalue represent a numerical value, in megabytes (MB).

Make sure to set the site size limitation as well.
