•
You configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to crawl a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 public folder. If the subject of an item contains a period (.) or a number sign (#), you receive the following error message:
Content for this URL is excluded by the server because a no-index attribute.
•
On the Advanced Search page, you search a word that contains a brace ({ or }). When you do this, you receive the following error message:
An unexpected error has occurred.
•
Consider the following scenario. You create a content deployment path to deploy content from one site collection into another site collection. You create an incremental deployment job for the content deployment path. You update some content on the source site collection and then run the incremental deployment job.
In this scenario, a primary key constraint violation occurs.
•
You create an article that is based on the custom content type. Then, you perform a crawl on the article. When you do this, the article is crawled successfully. However, when you change the article and then perform an incremental crawl, the article is removed from the index.
•
You apply hotfix 948945. Then, on the search page, you enter and search for a string that contains multiple misspelled words. When you do this, an exception is thrown intermittently.
