Microsoft Search Server 2008 and Google Enterprise Search [OneBox]
Search Server is one of the other major Enterprise servers of Microsoft which is growing Fast with Sharepoint 2007. With the new release of Search Server 2008 in March, it is expected to take Search functionality and Search Experience to the next level for Microsoft's Customer's.
There are better features than Google's Onebox Search Server Appliance, though I would say both have their own pro's and con's.
Search Server 2008
It's RTM version's are getting released in Express and Full Edition. Express Edition will be downloadable for free whereas Full version is a licensed product. There will be support provided for both these versions from Microsoft.
Express Edition's limitation is that it can be installed only on a SingleServer WSS 3.0 environment, whereas, Full Edition can be installed in a Farm WSS 3.0 enviroment.
Search Server 2008 MOSS patch is expected to be released later this year. When you install Search Server 2008, WSS 3.0 will be installed along with it, with some more cool features of Search which is not available with only WSS 3.0 Another new and cool feature of Search Server is the Federated Search which allows you to render the index of the Search engines on the internet, except for Google Search, Google blocks any search engine to crawl its content.
Search Server needs to get the results returned in XML formart to display those results in the Search query, for any Search engine that cannot return the results in XML format to Search Server, we have Federated Search custom connectors that can be created to re-format the results in XML format and store it locally. Those custom connectors is something that Shareopoint Developers will have to do. There are many 3rd party custom search connectors already available and can be used with Search Server 2008.
A clean install of Search Server 2008 will give you WSS 3.0 with cross site search automatically enabled which is not possible in WSS 3.0 only, which is a cool feature I would say. There is no People Search, BDC Search, you will have to use MOSS 207 for those Search options.

Google's Enterprise Search products have limitations of crawling data, depending on the product you buy, the limitations differ. In Microsoft Search Server 2008 there is no limitation to the no. of files that can be crawled. Also, Google's email support expires in 2 years, they do not have any on call support. If you want to renew the support you will have to buy a new license to get support. (Email)
Hello Friends,
I need to trace out the particular e-mails that will arrive during every weekend and I have not received the e-mails of last week.
Sender says: Report were attached. Please note however, that the reports were sent as scheduled and were received by our server.
I parallels checked in my Exchange 2k7 server which we have
Mailbox server, Client Access, HUB Transport
Edge server (place in DMZ zone)
The address the report normally come from is xxxxx@xyz.com, I added xxxxx@xyz.com to my list of safe senders and hope that this will help.
Question is: I want to know where the original reports have disappeared?
Are these e-mails the only ones which got lost?
After again the e-mail has sent by the sender's I couldn't trace out the mails in the my servers?
please let me know how to trace/find out the e-mails

hi Prashant,
For message tracking, the only available tool is message tracking which is enabled by default in Exchange 2007. As like in Exchange 2003 it is not easy to work on exchange 2007 because now we got filterize option. For this we need to take spare some time to see the filter criteria option. if the message came to your exchange server then you should get the information by message tracking, because it will be written in the logs. Need to have full fledge experience with the option of message tracking then only you can able to track it out. Even i am also learning out... because sometime i am not getting the output what i need.
Regards
Ismail Mohammed

I never tried this server and admit and I find it difficult and uncomfortable to try it. At this moment I am on Google, so far it has everything I need from as a search engine.
