Two basic methods are available to find information in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. The first method is to browse a hierarchical structure of links and pages to find the information you need. The second-and often faster-method of finding information is to search for it.

Searching for information is the process of entering one or more words in the search web part to form a search query that is executed against the index built on the SharePoint servers by your System Administrators. The servers process your query and return a set of content items that match your query. These content items contain links to the documents that you want to find.

This chapter introduces the basic concepts of how to execute search queries.
