Big surprise - SharePoint search, is built on top of SQL Server full text indexing. Okay, it's a bit more than full text indexing, such as certain XML driven configuration for word stemming, and other things thrown on top such as authoritative pages (best bets), etc. But in no way is SharePoint (even MOSS) search, a comparison of google or live search. But then it costs a lot lesser too. So it is quite useful, and compelling for what it is. But if you feel like spending $400K on an enterprise class search engine - knock yourself out. Anyway, this post isn't about that. This post is about, you have a sharepoint site setup, and now you wish to customize search. Boy, is this a common request or what! Sure you can customize...
