I recently posted an article on how to use Search Server 2008 for local searches on a website or intranet. In this post I’ll focus on the search query XML schema used by Search Server 2008 and how to customize search queries by specifying what columns to retrieve, what scopes to search, and filtering search results by managed properties such as meta tags.

I kan sige hvad I vil - men det er en fascinerende historie og nogle personer ved deres meningers mod. Det har mange mistet siden.....

Dang. That's a tough one. I think it may have been Eudora for my college email account. My first personal internet email was through usa.net.
- Give 'Em DBizness
umm... does using the MSN client count? actually, it may have been netscape communicator. EDIT... i vaguely remember some using a shell program in the computer labs in my 1st semester of college. maybe it was pine. i don't know.
- tiffany
The first internet-based email I used was probably the UNIX command line 'mail' program. Then Pine. But before that, I would log on to BBSs and send and receive messages.. so, let's say RBBS.
- Phil G
Pine, also used Pine again recently when I had some C classes
- Jeff Quinton
I don't remember what it was called. I typed "mail" while in a terminal session connected to a mainframe running MVS, and that was what I used. That was in 1993.

god i dunno. some of the command-line clients on the SWTechs, I suppose. For a long time, fetched stuff via CompuServe, Tymnet, and MCI gateways... then did a lot of FIDONet messaging during my BBS days... Eudora was probably my first desktop POP retrieval tool, though.
- Anthony Citrano
Yah, I think Pine for me. Back when I had a few shell accounts @gatech.edu

Pine (not my own account) > Eudora Lite > Outlook Express > Dabbled with Pocomail & Mulberry(first gui-friendly w/good IMAP) > Thunderbird > Increasingly Gmail and therefore Thunderbird mostly for archiving. BTW, my wife learning mail.app and DO NOT LIKE attachments *appear* as inline. Can this be config'd?

You've GOT to visit Bruce Lee's house and grave while you're there...and get pics!

Carlton: I'll try, but doubt we'll have enough time. We'll just have one evening and I want to see the skyline, etc.
- Robert Scoble
Fragrant Harbor! Don't leave there without going up the mountain...and taking many pictures. There's real jing up there...and some excellent feng shui.

You should go for dim sum again, but in HK. Eat more chicken feet, and try the duck feet too. Don't forget the desserts like black sesame roll, egg custard, green water chestnut cake, and almond jello. :)
- imabonehead
Enjoy the fantastic shopping in HK - even the Chinese from the main land go to HK to powershop.... - and remember to take the tramp to Victora´s Peak and enjoy the magnificient view over HK.
- Lars Rune Jensen
The bus ride up or down the peak is even better than the Peak Tram IMO (line 15). The road is spectacular. I'm also a big fan of the food market in a side alley off Canal Road East in Wan Chai.
- Ole Begemann
Star Ferry--cheap and a quick good view of the skyline (do it at night). Wan Chai computer market--a must. LKF if you want to see all the Brits acting like louts. And if you are still there Wednesday night, go to Happy Valley to watch the horse races. Quite a spectacle.
- Andrew Leyden
Have fun in Hong Kong. I enjoyed hiking the mountain (hill) just south of HK for the great view...

Firefox and Prism (same guts) both give between 900 and 1600 on my low-specced Linux box. It's not an accurate representation, I think. From subjective experience, Prism is lightning fast for me, and firefox just a little slower.
- Slippy "WildBeard" Lane
Looks like you need Chrome to win this contest. My 8 core Mac Pro was eeking out 6000 on Saf 3.1 and FF3, but nothing near the 15K+ that others were getting :P
- Patrick Lightbody
~3400 Mozilla 1.9.1b1pre and ~12000 Google Chrome 0.2.149.27. Both on Windows XP Pro, Dual core, 2G RAM
- Stephen Pierzchala
I'd love to know what kind of results well-specced Linux boxes are getting on Firefox, Prism and others.....anyone?

@Slippy: I get 3700 in Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. (Intel Core 2 @2.4GHz)
- Bret Taylor
5589 on FF 3.0.1, MacOS 10.5.4 Mac Pro 2x2.66Ghx Dual Core Duo.
- Kevin Fox
I posted scores over 30K several times. Not sure this is a meaningful measure of anything.
- abacab
yeah the benchmark is single-threaded.
- Sanjeev Singh
419 - (Firefox 2.0.0.14, Linux x86_64) 199 - (Konqueror 3.5, Linux) (dual 2.6 Gig, dual-core Xeons, 6 gigs of RAM)
- Robert Felty
Bret - cool...looks like the linux boxes are holding their own, although I don't know what Robert's done to his to drag it down to 419!
- Slippy "WildBeard" Lane
1618 - (Firefox 3.0.1, Linux x86_64) - this is on my home computer with a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon64 (single core). Maybe the difference is between Firefox 2 and 3?
- Robert Felty
yeah ff3 is a lot faster than ff2. It might seem strange but a bunch of us are excited about JS on the server, and this VM war is going to get us there sooner :)

ok Lars, you win :). abacab, what setup do you have that's getting 30K?
- Sanjeev Singh
441 on FF Powerbook G4 and >7000 on Chrome on XP P4 3.2GHz
