This will be my second post about Bing for business: “the new intelligent search experience for Office 365 and Microsoft 365, which uses AI and the Microsoft Graph to deliver more relevant search results based on your organizational context”. In this post, we will be focusing on “People Search”.

At the Ignite conference keynote Microsoft announced Bing for business. Winvision is one of the partners participating in the current preview. With the public announcement of Bing for business, I’m now allowed to show you what the service is offering our company. In the coming days I will be posting about several parts of Bing for business, starting with “branding”.

The past couple of weeks I'm working with Silverlight controls embedded in SharePoint 2007. For one of the controls I need to retrieve the data using the Search Query Web Service. This was working perfectly in the development environment. But when deploying the control to the production environment it didn't work.

It is a sad and known fact that having lots of ACLs in your SharePoint database has a negative effect on the performance of your site. What I did not know yet was that changes to the ACL will impact you incremental crawls.

I have a clean install on the latest and greatest: Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and MOSS 2007 SP1 with all updates. Everything works fine, except the search crawl gave Access Denied errors on http://mysite and sps3://mysite. This post explains how I fixed the problem.
