Jonathon's Blog: Searching Custom Column Values in MOSS 2007

Searching Custom Column Values in MOSS 2007
An issue that came up on a recent project was how can we search custom meta-data on document libraries in MOSS 2007? So for instance, let’s say that in a set of document libraries in a site or across a number of sites each will have a custom column named “Department” that is of a data type “Choice” and the possible values are each department in an organization. Now let’s say that end-users would like to use advanced search to use the Department field as search criteria.

I knew this was possible with SPS 2003, however, I sadly never had a chance or a reason to try it out – but now I did with SharePoint 2007, yippee! So in order to figure this out, I did a cursory search online and hit TechNet’s MOSS section, but alas, I could not find anything showing exactly what I was looking for. So through some brainstorming with a colleague and also some trial and error I was able to get it.
