Summary

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 provides a rich set of features for organizing and finding information. SharePoint's document libraries can be used to manage the organization of documents and facilitate searches. Content from all over the site can be organized into areas to provide the user who is unfamiliar with the site a structure for finding information. The Site Directory can be used for listing and highlighting sites that are pertinent to the user population.

The ability to search and find information using SharePoint depends on many elements within the SharePoint infrastructure. These elements work together to enable SharePoint to index, search, and present information based on a set of criteria defined by the user.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003's capacity for searching a variety of different content sources and bringing together the results provides users with an organized view of information that can be efficiently managed and used.
