Appendix : Legacy Presto components : Mashables and Mashups : Mashups in Business Analytics Wires : Creating Mashups in Wires : Add SharePoint Information Sources : Add Results from a SharePoint Search or FAST Search to a Mashup
Add Results from a SharePoint Search or FAST Search to a Mashup
Use the SharePoint Search block to use the results of a simple search in SharePoint as an information source. Complete the Server, Credentials and Site Properties and Simple Search Properties for this block.
Use the SharePoint FAST Search block to use the results of an advanced search in SharePoint as an information source. FAST advanced searches use the FAST Query Language (FQL) to allow advanced searching such as wildcard matches, complex queries such as both terms present (AND/OR) or filtering results to specific properties.
Note:  
The FAST search feature is not available in SharePoint 2007.
For advanced searches, complete the Server, Credentials and Site Properties and FAST Search Properties for this block.
Server, Credentials and Site Properties
Connection
Select the connection for the SharePoint server with the site you want to search.
Note:  
If no SharePoint connections have been configured in Business Analytics, this property shows a message and you cannot use this block until a connection to SharePoint has been configured by a Business Analytics administrator.
If the SharePoint server you need to work with is not in this list, contact your Business Analytics administrator.
User Credentials
This section is collapsed by default. It defines the credentials (user account and permissions) used to connect to this SharePoint server and sites. Use the and buttons to expand or collapse this section.
The permissions for the credentials you use determine which SharePoint sites and lists you can use in this block. Based on configuration, this may default to the credentials defined for the connection you have selected, also known as the service account. Or you may be required to supply your credentials for this SharePoint server.
Note:  
Some SharePoint server connections may disable the use of user credentials based on configuration. In this case, this section only displays credential information.
To use your own SharePoint credentials to connect to this server, change or enter this account information and click Save.
Important:  
Updating these credentials creates or updates your Business Analytics credentials for this SharePoint server (which are saved as Business Analytics User Attributes). This can affect other mashups or mashables that work with this SharePoint server if they use your credentials rather than the service account.
To remove your credentials from this block, click Remove. Depending on configuration for this server, the service account credentials may default. This also removes your Business Analytics User Attributes for this SharePoint server.
Site Name
Once you have the connection and user credentials set, choose the SharePoint site that you want to search.
Simple Search Properties
Search Query
Enter a word or phrase to search for in this SharePoint site.
Start At
If desired, change the index number for the first result to return. This defaults to 1.
Count
If desired, change the total number of results to return. This defaults to 0 which returns all results.
FAST Search Properties
Query Type
This defaults to Keyword which searches for simple text. Change this to FQL to use an advanced query expression to define what to search for.
Search Query
If the query type is Keyword, enter a word or phrase to search for in this SharePoint site.
If the query type is FQL, enter a query in FQL for what to search for in this SharePoint site.
Spell Check
This option is set by default. It checks spelling within the keywords of the query and potentially returns other suggestions.
Resubmit if zero results
If desired, set this option to allow the search to turn off spelling checks and turn on stemming to attempt to find other results if an exact match does not find any results.
