Part I: Implementing SharePoint Collaboration
When you’re finished using the online SharePoint help during your work
session, you can close the Help browser window by clicking the Close button
that appears in the window’s upper-right corner. Doing this returns you
immediately to the browser window containing your SharePoint site where
you can continue working.
Finding Your Way on the SharePoint
Site with Search
Your SharePoint site includes a Search box that you can often use to quickly
locate and then visit particular components. This can become a particularly
efficient way to navigate your SharePoint site, especially as the site grows.
The Search box is located on each SharePoint page directly beneath the
Welcome drop-down list and Help buttons and immediately above the
Site Actions button. The Search box itself is sandwiched between a Scope
drop-down list (which typically contains the value This Site or All Sites) on
the left and a Go Search button (with the magnifying glass icon) on the right.
To perform a search for particular content on your SharePoint site, make
sure that This Site is displayed in the Scope drop-down list and then enter
the search text that SharePoint’s search feature will find. This search text
normally consists of keywords found on the page or pages of the site you
want to locate. For example, to find pages on my SharePoint site where both
the terms book and cover are mentioned, I enter the following search text in
the Search box:
book cover
However, if I want SharePoint to find the pages where the term book is
mentioned but not the term cover, I enter the following search text in the
Search box:
book -cover
When you enter more than one term in the Search box separated by spaces,
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assumes an implicit AND condition (so that
in my first example, SharePoint searches for the terms book and cover). If you
want to explicitly exclude a term from the search, you need to enter the minus
sign before the term (as in my second example where SharePoint searches for
all occurrences of the term book where cover is not mentioned).
After you enter the search text in the Search box and designate the scope
of the search in the Scope drop-down list, you’re ready to have SharePoint
conduct the search by clicking the Go Search button (or pressing Enter when
the cursor is still in the Search box).
