Arpan,

Love your blog. Please keep it up.

One question, though. What is the mssharepointforums.com thing in your top 5? I can't find any content at that URL. I found sharepointforums.com, but it looks like a very low traffic forum site.

Thanks,

Tom

Check out http://SearchForSharePoint.com

It's a custom search engine I created a while back composed of SharePoint-based sites. I know, it's built the big mean G's tech, but I've found it to be much more powerful, responsive, and easy to use than the custom Live Search functionality.

I would add Google Groups to your list of resources--I would say "try the Microsoft's newsgroups page on microsoft.com" but their search box is broken, so use Google Groups instead.

Also I'll point out that the Technet forums have a working search that is mostly unindexed by search engines--so you'll find stuff there that can't be found on Google.

Also I've found that searching my Google Reader blogroll yields the absolute best results for common issues, e.g. adding PDF support to SharePoint lists Steven Van de Craen's page on the subject, which is 100% exactly what I'm looking for.

Search boxes for many of these things can be found on a page I created (and need to update):

Re: Tom,

mssharepointforums.com should redirect to Technet, specifically:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=328&SiteID=1

There is a lot of good content on there, at least as far as troubleshooting goes.
