SharePoint Image Search

Matthew McDermott, a SharePoint MVP, has written a great 4 part blog post on how to make SharePoint 2007 search (and Search Server) render image results in a way that looks very similar to https://images.live.com.

Not only does this make searching images much easier, it’s also a very thorough step-by-step tutorial on how to customize results using the built in Web Parts and XSL – it’s well worth a read.

SharePoint Image Search (Part 2)

SharePoint Image Search (Part 3)

SharePoint Image Search (Part 4)

The end result makes SharePoint Image results look like the screencap below.
