Thanks. Do you know of an online article where somebody shows an example of the differences? &nbsp;I like to convince people that spending the time and money setting this up will make a big difference in findability within SharePoint.

Hello,<br />
<br />
This is for internal SharePoint 2010 sites, not a public site. <br />
<br />
I am planning to improve search results in SharePoint 2010 and people are wondering what would be the difference between the out-of-box SharePoint search capabilities and search optimization. Search optimization would involve using taxonomy, managed metadata, content types, tagging and setting up synonyms in SharePoint. &nbsp;Can you show examples of search out-out-of box (you don't do anything but just use what SharePoint has) vs. search optimizing? What would be different?<br />
<br />
Thanks

What is the difference between Out-of-Box Search and Search Optimization in SharePoint?

In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
