How to Install and Use Search Connectors in Windows 7

Sarah Perez — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:39:00 GMT

One of the many great new features in Windows 7 is something called Federated Search. As we’ve mentioned before, this new type of search allows you to add “search connectors” that let you perform searches of internet-connected web sites and databases in addition to just searching your local files. It’s a full-on mingling of the web and the machine. Earlier, we pointed you to a link for a zip file of some of Chris Pirillo’s favorite search connectors, and now let’s look at you how you can use them.

First thing’s first – you have to click the above link to download the zip file. If you’re having trouble with the link (it was slow to load for me), you can grab Redmond Pie's pack or the Twitter Search Connector from this site, at the very least.

On the dialog box that appears, just click “Open.” The connector will be installed automatically.

Now – how do you use them? This actually is the easiest part. You can perform searches from within any open Explorer window – just use the search box in the upper-right corner. (You can also start a search from the Start Menu, but here you have to click the “See More Results” link to be taken to an Explorer window where you can begin to use the various connectors.)

Here’s an example of me searching all Twitter posts for the phrase “new Twitter app”:

Notice how my search terms have been highlighted in the results and the results themselves are sorted in chronological order with the newest posts first.

Now if I come across a post I want to see on the web, I simply double-click the entry. That takes me to the actual web page where I can read the original item.

Example - Checking out this tweet about Chirp, a new WPF-based Twitter app:

That’s it! Search connectors aren’t uber-geeky or hard to use at all. All you have to do is click and install them when you find someone who has them available for download on the net.

(Note: Chris Pirillo's pack contains a FriendFeed search connector – a must have for all us social media addicts!)

Show: Episode 2 It's All About The Tools TV Show

Russell Fustino — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:21:00 GMT

In this video, you will find tools to help solve these common developer challenges…

Maintaining the truth and privacy of your data while making changes to the schema
Another report project?
Setting up a virtual playground for testing and development
Building a web site from scratch in minutes without code
How can I customize my build process?

(When viewing in Silverlight, the dots on the timeline correspond to the scenes listed below.)

Tool Shed Theme Song
Introduction
Demo 1 - VSTS DB Pro
Demo 2 - SQL Reporting Services
Demo 3 - Virtual PC
Demo 4 - DotNetNuke
Demo 5 - MSBuild Extensibility talking to Twitter by Guest Speaker Microsoft MVP, Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi
Developer Community Update by Brian Johnson

You will love our guest speaker, Microsoft MVP Sayed ... as he dazzles us on extending MSBuild to talk to Twitter, I guarantee it for any coder!

Special thanks to co-host Stan Schultes, recent co-author on his book on DotNetNuke 5, Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi , Carl Franklin, Brian Johnson, Seminole Community College - Sanford\Lake Mary Campus and the Orlando Code Camp Team and attendees, and the many volunteers who made this show a reality!

Note: For those of you new to channel9 viewing, many different formats are available for download besides viewing in the default player; everything from Zune to WMV High Quality. Simply locate the dropdown menu below the embedded player on this page for your desired download selection. If the default view is too small or too blurry for you when full screen, then I recommend trying to download WMV High Quality. You can clearly see code, all video and powerpoints in High Def (HD) at full screen. It takes about an hour to download at average home speed connections. The high def WMV file is about 1 gig.

Let me know what you think about the content, first and foremost in both episode 1 and 2. Feel free to comment on what tools you would like to see on future episodes.

As for the TV Show editing, let me know what you think of the Picture-In-Picture effect in the beginning during the theme song and occasional black and white filters (Wizard of Oz look). I am experimenting with various effects and having fun doing and learning video production!

Finally, please note all of the resources on right of the page at: http://channel9.msdn.com/toolshed including a link to all of the powerpoints, demo code and demo scripts!

Stan and I are planning on are filming Episode 3 this weekend, June 6, 2009, at the Pensaolca SQL Saturday. If you are attending, I can use some volunteers, like camera operators, a sound engineer and door control. I'll teach you at the event, everything to run the camera or sound, if you don't have much experience. Drop me an email if interested at Laptop Hunters commercials, but they also had quite a bit to say about these topics:

Ferrari's love sharepoint!
Did you say "koobface"?
Spammy spam spam
Everybody tweets

So dig in and enjoy!

Softie Fashion!
Microsoft gaming will never die

Coming at you LIIIIVE (ok not really) it’s this week’s Ping. This was a really exciting week in Microsoft-land with MIX, IE8, and Silverlight. We also talked about the “Surface 2” rumors and, of course, wrapped up with some trivia.

Here are some of the fancy links for you all so you don’t have to type:

IE8 performance video (scroll down to Case Study)
IE8 on Channel 10 discussion
History of the Internet (hilarious!)

Ping is back for week 2! We heard what you were saying and we tried to give you something more in line with what you'd expect. This week we observed and listened to what people here at Microsoft were buzzing about, what was on their minds, what they talked about at the water cooler. Here is a recap of what was on the minds of Microsofties this past week. Again, we are a work in progress so your (constructive) feedback is always welcome. We hope you enjoy.

Windows 7 on Netbooks
Jim Allchin ROCKS!
