Recently, I came across a client portal that had an interesting issue with search. The problem manifested itself when performing a search on any of the sub-sites in the site collection. I could search for any term, for example “Sebastian”, at the top-level site and receive a number of results that included my name in the document, me as the author, etc. Some of these documents lived in the top-level site, others on sub-sites. When I searched any of those sub-sites, I would expect to find that particular content that lives within that site. However, I did not and instead received the following message, “No results matching your search were found”.

On a recent project, I developed a web-based InfoPath form which used a Contact Selector control to allow an end user to choose the recipients of an email that would be sent by a SharePoint Designer workflow. I was limited in that it needed to be a web-based form and I could not use code to accomplish this. Due to some limitations with the Contact Selector control in how it promotes to a SharePoint list, I could not simply promote the values from the control to a column, then use that information to populate the email.
