Hi,

I am a new user that has just started using SharePoint. My situation
is as follows: I have uploaded a reference guide that contains a bunch
of technical terms onto SharePoint. Originally I created the document
in excel, but was able to upload the excel file onto SharePoint. The
reason as to why I have uploaded this reference guide onto SharePoint
is so that other employees have easy access to the guide when they
need to look up technical terms. On SharePoint, the reference guide
looks like this:

Term Acronym

apple app
pear pr
banana ban
app ap

The problem that I have is with the search command. When searching, it
seems that the Acronym column has a greater weighting than the Term
column. However, I would like the Term column to have the greater
weighting. If I search for a term, I would like the match to be at the
top of the term column instead of the acronym coloumn. Could someone
please suggest a way of fixing the weightings. I am not sure if it is
a setting that I need to adjust for each column (i.e set one coloumn
to 1 and the other to 2). If there is coding involved, do you know
where exactly I could find the code I need to adjust on SharePoint.
SharePoint seems to be a user interface application and I don't
understand where I could find the code I may need to adjust. Thank you.

Sighs. All those words and a key piece of information is missing.

Which SharePoint ?

There's no way to guess from your question and there are a lot of
current; almost current and old SP products to choose from.

Sorry.

I am using Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. I hope this
helps.
