One of my most popular posts on this blog is the How To Configure Employee Lookup Web Part Series with Part 1 explained what the employee lookup web part is, configuring user profile import and defining the AD data connection. While Part 2 walked the administrator thru initiating user profile import and enabling the employee lookup web part search. One thing you can easily do to extend this is to enable People search within the standard search results.
Here are the steps to enable this functionality very simply:
- Launch Central Administration
- Goto your SSP Admin site
- Click on Search settings
- Click on content sources
- Edit content source
- Add the following address so that SharePoint can crawl it
- For example, If your portal url is http://www.sharepointbuzz.com then you need to add sps3://www.sharepointbuzz.com
