Sharepoint Portal Search Customization

This project is for the development of a custom search page for MS Sharepoint Portal server 2003. Currently our Intranet is built via a combination of asp 3.0 and sharepoint team sites. This objective of this project is to enable users to use a asp.net page that does not have any sharepioint branding or navigation to be able to search the Sharepoint Portal team sites and display results in a custom fashion as described below. The design of search page will be two fold. One will be a simple search and one will allow an advanced search with options to search specific meta fields in the document libraries. Thirdly, search parameters should be allowed to be passed to this page via query strings so as to enable other sites to send users search requests that are prebuilt. Search Results Format : We have a few custom meta fields we have added as part of our document library templates. These are "Description", "Department", "Published date", "Expiration Date", "Owner" and "Document Type". The search page will return results from the team sites and bring back the results and include the content stored in those meta fields as well. Search results should be returned in the following format: 1. DocumentType Icon, Document Title(Link to Document) , Author, Date Last Updated Meta Tags This project should take no more than 2 to three days for someone with expert knowledge in Sharepoint search and document libraries. ## Deliverables 1. Code must be done in C# and should be well documented. 2. Code is expected to be functioning and pass user testing. 3. Deliverable includes the asp.net visual studio solution with all of the aspx, html, css and .cs files. ## Platform windows 2003 , Microsoft Sharepoint 2003
