While preparing for my upcoming SharePoint Connections presentations in Las Vegas, I decided to release some SharePoint Search solutions to CodePlex.  My first release is an extension to the MOSS Shared Service Provider that provides administrators with the ability to configure managed property weights and length normalization, carefully modify standard MOSS ranking parameters to tune relevance, and execute the ranking update process.  I know... it's not that exciting.  There are other options for configuring these relevance settings in MOSS (EXEs and custom STSADM extensions); however, this is the first option that I have seen that is fully integrated into the SSP.  Check it out and let me know what you think...

Additional information and screen shots are available on CodePlex... 

So what's next on my plate for release?  Since someone already created a search as you type feature on CodePlex, my next project will be a "fancy" advanced search extension that provides an advanced search UI similar to the MOSS people search advanced search input.
