Comments on: Announcing CRM Search http://blogs.infinite-x.net/2007/05/29/announcing-crm-search/ Knowledge found and lost while working with Microsoft CRM Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:37:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Greener Pastures : Wouldn’t you rather live it? http://blogs.infinite-x.net/2007/05/29/announcing-crm-search/#comment-517 Greener Pastures : Wouldn’t you rather live it? Sat, 07 Jul 2007 22:33:23 +0000 http://blogs.infinite-x.net/2007/05/29/announcing-crm-search/#comment-517 [...] So Susan is all about googling here there and everywhere… http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2007/07/07/searchin-for-grandma.aspx Just to let you know that while live.com does not dig into newsgroups like google groups does, many of the same features are possible. For example, one might want to search for 'grandma' and limit that to msmvps.com, it's pretty simple!!! On Vista, click on the Pearl, and type this in: (Only stuff inside the brackets, do not include the brackets!!!) {grandma site:msmvps.com} then click on Search the Internet. The results come up here: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=grandma+site%3amsmvps.com. Don't have Vista??? Try it at search.live.com in your browser of choice. Or Windows Desktop Search on XP SP2 should perform similarly… While it may be fun and hip to google this or that…Microsoft's search facility is better for business. On the desktop and in the enterprise, search is contextual to who you are and what you should be able to see. Google, and most internet based search engines don't have the business intelligence natively to consider your position in the company or your privileges. As consultants to small and medium sized business we prefer the Microsoft search routines because they are built from the ground up to work inside the framework. Certainly google is avant garde, but does your business need avant garde or does it need for you to get the right answers with the right data when you look for it? I commend google for trying to weasel into the desktop search market and they do a pretty good job for the general public. Their search appliances are not as effective or accurate. Couple that with the improvements Microsoft is making with its search.live.com I can't see why I'd recommend anyone use google anymore. I keep up with it from time to time, and they've pitched us to start slinging their appliances, but it is hard to actually tell a client that google is better for their business. Live.com provides a facility for creating search macros, for alerting on search terms/macros, etc. The engine is improving daily and providing a better way to Find, Use, and Share Information. So Mitch put together a google based CRM search engine: http://www.crmaccelerators.net/searchcrm.aspx It occurs to me the same can be done with live.com: http://search.live.com/macros/microsoftcrm/001 I created that in about 5 minutes. (And that was without knowing what to do!!!

It is in my favorites already! I would like to add a website that has a lot of CRM content. Http://www.pimpmycrm.com. On this website we try to collect all add-ons for Microsoft CRM (only for Microsoft CRM). I think that it is a great idea to add this site to the sites that are searched. Great Tool!
