Search for Free! Search Server 2008 Express Announced

Looks like this could be a free option instead of the Google appliance. I’m still trying to tell if it requires SQL 2005.

Today Microsoft released a new Search offering – Search Server 2008 Express.  This is on top of the recently announced Search Server 2008, and of course Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"Express?  Does this mean, like in so many other products with that moniker, that this is free?"

Yep.  Free. 

"So.. it’s scaled down, I bet.  Probably some limit on the number of items you can index, right?"

Wrong.  From what I’ve read, it’s pretty much the same product as the Enterprise version Search Server 2008 – only without the enterprise-class high availability and load balancing options that you get in MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008.  Check out this comparison page for more details on the three main search offerings from Microsoft.

And here’s the press release that came out today, also.

Post Nuke – Development Update, January 2007-01

I’ve been running Postnuke on this site since it started, before that it was phpnuke. Problem is I find myself moving more and more post toward my wordpress site. I thought I would keep all the technical stuff on this site, but its just easier to have all my post in one place. So I’m thinking about making this site my photo and games site (it seems like most people that come here are playing the flash games) If I can get gallery2 and the flash games intergrated I’ll look into moving to that and migrate all the news post to my other site.
If any of you have any feedback on what they like or don’t like on the site please let me know.

Anyway here’s some updates on PostNuke .8

Development Update, January 2007-01

>
This is the the first 2007 update issue, with the aim to communicate the development of PostNuke to the community. Not too technical, not too detailed, but to show what the recent discussions and repository commits are about.

In this issue:

API functionality
Object Library and classes
pnForms: functionality and documentation
System modules: Categories, Search and Blocks
ValueAddons modules
pnRender Plugins
