FAST Search Server
FAST SearchThe link and click-through analysis engines break when you set up a multi-node installation for which the hostnames in the deployment file use different casing than the hostnames that are given to the Post Setup Configuration script.
FAST SearchWhen indexing documents which cause warning or errors, indexing speed drops significantly.
FAST SearchInformation on the backup and crawler configuration are missing from the infotool report when FAST Search Server is installed in a folder whose name includes a white space character.
FAST SearchIf you try to create a new rank profile that has an illegal name (such as a name that contains angle brackets), the schema update will fail on the FAST Search servers, but you will not receive an error message in the PowerShell console. Subsequent index schema updates might also fail without any error message in the PowerShell console.
FAST SearchPowerPoint SlideShow (.ppsx) files are not searchable when you use the latest Microsoft Filter Pack.
FAST SearchFeeding fails after customization of the inclusion dictionary.
FAST SearchThe default schema settings produce irrelevant results because unnecessary content is indexed. The default schema also produces inconsistent SiteName values between indexed content from the SharePoint and FAST Lotus Notes connectors.
FAST SearchIndexer ignores errors when it copies directories.
FAST SearchIndexer crashes and corrupts the document index.
FAST SearchYou cannot remove crawled property mappings for a managed property in SharePoint Central Admin.
FAST SearchThe indexer goes into an invalid state and does not shut down.
FAST SearchThe Configuration process (PSConfig) throws an error and terminates at resourcesstoreinstall.exe execution.
FAST SearchTitles and dates for Microsoft Office documents in search results do not correctly reflect the contents of the documents.
FAST SearchIncorrect FQL conversion occurs when a query uses type (type=kwany)/(type=kwall) with custom indexes.
FAST SearchFunctionality to add search columns to a live system is lacking.
FAST SearchThe crawler becomes unresponsive when it is looking up DNS host entries for a large set of websites.
FAST SearchThe "total size of documents (bytes)" value that is reported by the Indexer process does not decrease correctly when documents are removed from the search index.
FAST SearchDocument preview does not work in search results when https is used.
FAST SearchWhen an I/O exception occurs during index activation, the system enters a state in which no more data is indexed.
FAST SearchWhen the same managed property is added and deleted many times (more than 20), memory consumption for several processes continues to increase, even if the actual schema remains the same.
FAST SearchAn error occurs when you use the command line tool "crawleradmin" together with the "--nodestatus" option to query the status of multiple web crawlers.
FAST SearchThe deployment file templates contain recommended and commonly used components and services for servers in a FAST Search farm. These templates are out of date.
FAST SearchThe terms in simplified Chinese language multi-term queries are automatically combined into a phrase.
FAST SearchIf a refiner's mapped property has uppercase characters in the refinement panel, the refiner will not be returned from the FAST backend. This will also happen if programming interfaces, such as query web service, federation OM, or query OM, are being used.
FAST SearchWhen a user is authenticated by a third-party system through form-based authentication, search results do not list documents to which anonymous users have read access.
FAST SearchSAM configuration files are not patchable.
FAST SearchFAST scope filters are dropped if they are longer than the maximum size, but no warning message is returned. In this situation after the fix, the filter is reverted to the last known good string, and a warning is displayed in the user interface.
FAST SearchAn uncaught exception makes the click through log analysis stop processing new data.
FAST SearchThe master indexer becomes unresponsive during long index copies.
FAST SearchAdding items using the FAST database connector and multi-row normalizer functionality may cause the string "NULL" to be indexed instead of the value NULL.
FAST SearchIf the click-through analysis engine fails to write its internal state to disk, the file that contains the state is truncated, and the application cannot restart.
FAST SearchIf you have a crawl that uses sitemaps as start URIs, you may observe that certain documents are removed from the index by the crawler after a number of refresh cycles, even though these documents still exist on the web server and are also still linked by the sitemap.
FAST SearchThe indexer can run out of disk space when old fixml data is not cleaned up.
FAST SearchBackup indexer or search may fail when disk space is low.
FAST SearchSearch fails until samworker or qrproxy services are restarted.
FAST SearchIn cases where indexing fails due to corrupt data new content will not become searchable.
FAST SearchAfter startup, the backup indexer gets out of sync with the master indexer with respect to index copying. As a result, the backup indexer does not have the necessary indexes available in case of failover, and everything will have to be re-indexed. Error logs may include this message: "Communication error when registering file receiver from ...: File receiver unavailable."
FAST SearchWhen an item processor cannot send link data to the link analysis engine, the item processor stores the data until it can be sent. In some cases, the data is never sent, performance suffers, and errors are logged.
FAST SearchFeeding performance for large batches, with many links  per document or many documents per batch, is unexpectedly poor.
FAST SearchAdministrators experience a performance drops in feeding due to the overhead of error-handling and resubmitting of batches.
FAST SearchTemporary index directories that remain when the search controller is stopped are not cleaned up, which wastes disk space.
FAST SearchConsider a scope that has a FAST specific scope filter for which the filter string contains one or more managed property restrictions, and the managed property names contain uppercase letters. When this scope is used in a query, the error message, "Property doesn't exist or is used in a manner inconsistent with schema settings" is returned.
FAST SearchDue to duplicate removal, the maximum query throughput (QPS) is roughly 50 divided by the number of columns (for example, a 10 column system would have a throughput of 5).
FAST SearchFastSearch feeding and indexing hangs when feeding recovery is triggered and there are many content feeding sessions running at the same time.
FAST SearchThe click-through analysis engine (SPRel) breaks when error handling is triggered during feeding.
FAST SearchCorruption of the search index stops deletion of expired normalized dictionaries. Those files might never be cleaned up, wasting disk space.
FAST SearchIn a fault tolerant setup under certain circumstances when the amount of available memory is low on the master indexer node, the master indexer shuts down. This can cause the backup indexer to loose sync. After the incident, the indexers must be manually synchronized.
FAST SearchIn some scenarios, the crawler crawls documents in the wrong order and may not return the expected results.
FAST SearchInstallation on the Italian language version of Windows 2008 Server fails in the post-setup configuration stage.
FAST SearchIf the user updates the crawler configuration on a multi-node crawler setup that specifies a proxy for crawling, the crawling comes to a halt and all requests fail. This leads to no documents being updated or added to the index.
FAST SearchThe infotool does not pick up the pipeline extensibility and schema files from the admin node. This information is very useful for troubleshooting schema and document processing scenarios.
FAST SearchWhen you run the SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1 script in silent mode, a message is printed to the console that states that the script was not successful even if it was successful. This fix corrects that problem and resolves a problem of several log messages being printed to the console while the script is run in silent mode.
FAST SearchDuring crawling by the FAST Search Web Crawler when JavaScript support is enabled, the Browser Engine suddenly stops processing certain documents. Therefore, these documents are not crawled and indexed.
FAST SearchUsers are unable to search with Greek lemmatization and spell checking.
FAST SearchCustom property extractors are limited.
FAST SearchWhen the user stops a process by using the command line tool nctrl, the message "Failed to stop the following process" is displayed, However, the process might just be taking a long time to stop.
FAST SearchThe fsearch process grows in memory size until all system memory is used under a sustained heavy query load.
FAST SearchIntermittent issues with feeding performance.
FAST SearchThe dump file (.dmp) that is created when Contentdistributor, Indexingdispatcher, or Nameserver crashes is unusable.
Office Web Apps

Search ServerAn inaccurate result count is estimated for queries that have multiple sub-queries. (And an unnecessary "next" button may appear on the results page.)
Search ServerIf a user attempts a config-only restore on a farm different from the one on which the backup was taken, the restore fails with the following error: "System.ArgumentException: localStoragePath at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchApi.AssertParameter(String parameterName, Boolean condition).
Search ServerPeople search results are duplicated starting on page 8.
Search ServerAn upgrade does not succeed if the Search SSA administrator no longer exists in the Active Directory.
Search ServerAfter topology changes, crawls are stalled for several hours.
Search ServerTopology changes that add or remove a crawl store are not restartable if they are not successful.
Search ServerIf a search crawl host redistribution operation is interrupted by a temporary connectivity problem, the progress indicator of the operation is no longer accurate.
Search ServerWhen you rename a crawl store, entries for the old name and the new name appear in the topology administration pages.

Search ServerThe page for administering search crawl rules displays an English error message in non-English language versions when a non-valid site name is encountered.
Search ServerIf a query component is not mirrored and its index becomes corrupted, the corrupted component is shown as “Not responding”. An index reset does not resolve the situation.
Search ServerYou issue a query that includes a phrase as a synonym to one of the terms. If more than one instance of that phrase occurs in a URL, a crash occurs.
Search ServerWhen the dedicated web front end servers (WFEs) for a search deployment are down, search redirects traffic to all the remaining WFEs. This overloads the system.
Search ServerThe crawler stops responding after processing a large number of links.
Search ServerPhonetic People Search does not work correctly for the Russian and Korean languages.
Search ServerSearch administration reports for a larger SharePoint farm (with multiple search service applications or multiple web frontends and query servers) show a query rate that exceeds the actual number of queries that users are executing.

Search ServerAfter a search restore is performed, the "dedicated" setting of a crawl store is lost.
Search ServerAfter a restart of the Search service, the crawler sometimes stops responding, and a service restart is required.
Search ServerYou set the "Has Multiple Values" field for a built-in date/time managed property that is part of the restricted set of managed properties that are retrieved on each query. In this scenario, all queries return "Internal server exception."
Search ServerBefore SP1, it was cumbersome to write a new web part or to extend an OOB web part. Starting with SP1, a new API is available (LocationConfigurationsCollection object) that makes these jobs easier.
Search ServerA malformed query exception occurs when you execute a full-text query that includes an integer multivalued property in the where clause.
Search ServerAdministrators are able to create a crawled property whose name is non-numeric, using the SharePoint Search Windows PowerShell cmdlet "New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCrawledProperty", with the "-IsNameEnum" flag set to $true. This crawled property breaks the search schema, and will cause subsequent search crawls to be stuck in the "Starting" state.
Search ServerQueryManager.GetResults() is not public. Starting with SP1, QueryManager.GetResults() is public. This clarifies for developers that you have to add the LocationList to the queue QueryManager before you execute a query.
Search ServerYou cannot determine which result page is the source of a logged click.
Search ServerA query logging search session lasts for a full day and may end in the middle of an actual search session. The fix requires PSConfig to be run after applying SP1.
Search ServerYou try to index some HTML files that contain noindex div blocks. However, some text in the noindex div blocks gets indexed and is searchable.

SharePointBefore SP1, the Title field on attachments was a required field. Therefore, users had to supply a title to save a document. Starting with SP1,  the Title field is no longer a required field.
SharePointGroup owners cannot delete the SharePoint groups that they own.

You cannot use SharePoint. Your System Administrator has turned off that feature

One of my user was trying to use the outlook integration feature of sharepoint(action-connect to outlook). Everybody knows that we use this feature to connect our list's and libraries to open in outlook. See over here, we need to understand that this is not a problem of sharepoint but its a design behaviour of outlook 2007. Why this is a design behaviour if it works perfectly fine with Outlook 2003 ?

The answer to your question is this post which is written by Jose Barreto:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2007/01/27/enabling-and-disabling-sharepoint-integration-in-outlook-2007.aspx

For outlook 2003, Microsoft has already published an article which is an awesome one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831057

Jose Barreto clearly explains that Office 2007 setup carried that setting from the old 2003 location and that's why it was there in the first place, even though nobody (but Office 2007 Setup and Outlook 2007) knew the new location.

Edit in Datasheet View in Sharepoint without MS Office installed

Why you cannot view a list in Datasheet view on a Windows SharePoint Services Web site ? I know everybody knows the answers:

This behavior occurs if one or more if the following conditions are true:
•A datasheet component that is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services is not installed.
A Microsoft Office Professional edition is not installed on the computer. •The Web browser does not support ActiveX controls.
•Support for ActiveX controls is disabled.


Edit in datasheet gives you the way by which you can perform bulk updates and deletes. But the problem or you call it as necessity that Office package should be insatalled on your machine.

but what if-you dont have a office installed on your machine and you need to do some important work. Dont worry-Here is the solution:
You just have to install the AccessDatabaseEngine from Microsoft and it will give you the edit in datasheet mode.

You can download the database engine from the following location:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C06B8369-60DD-4B64-A44B-84B371EDE16D&displaylang=en

I hope the above mentioned information will be usefull to you as well as resolves the issue when requirement arises. Please let me know in case of any issues/queries/questions.

SharePoint Column/View Permission

As we all aware that there is no out of box way in sharepoint by which we can achieve column level permissions. but would like to highlight one third party utility which will be very effective and fullfill all the requirements.

You can get this utility here : SharePointBoost

What are the benefits:
----------------------------
1. SharePoint administrators can now assign to Users and User Groups all relative permissions at Columns-and Views-level.
2. Permissions can even be defined using conditions, so that the values of certain fields determine permissions dynamically.
3. Permissions settings can be imported or exported as XML file for easy management and batch permissions assignment. 



SharePoint Column/View Permission provides further protection on list columns and views than the SharePoint permission system does. Using it, you can safeguard the confidential column contents from access and edition by unauthorized users.

Main highlights:
-------------------
1. Hide or read-only columns in a list
2. Hide or read-only views in a list
3. Set Permissions According to Conditions
4. Hide columns in Alert Me email
5. Add Extral Protection against Access from Web Services


I hope the above mentioned information is pretty much clear regarding the SharePoint column permisisons utility.http://www.sharepointboost.com/columnpermission.html
