SiteData and the SharePoint Feeder for GSA

February 7th, 2008 | Michael

An increasing number of our customers are discovering the undocument limitation in the SharePoint Web Service SiteData. While this API is sparsely documented to begin with, users are not aware that if there are over 1000 subsites within an Application (i.e. http://mysharepoint.company.com ) the GetSite method returns no subsites. As you would expect, having subsites is critical to any type of crawl functionality.

Until Microsoft fully discloses the bug, you can read Joel Oleson, and some commentors, discuss how its used as part of SharePoint. It’s really unknown how this bug impacts SharePoint functionlaity.

Because of this limitation, MC+A pulled the vetern GSS Web Part out of the closet and developed the GSS into the SFGSA. The feeder provides the same basic functionality as the Google Enterprise Connector, but utlizes the SharePoint Object Model.
