The following update apparently slipped under my radar a few weeks ago:
October Cumulative Update:
To learn about the issues that are fixed in this update, see
Description of the SharePoint Server 2007 hotfix package (Coreserver.msp): October 28, 2008 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=133374&clcid=0x409) and
Description of the SharePoint Server 2007 hotfix package (Coreservermui.msp): October 28, 2008 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=133376&clcid=0x409).
Microsoft.SharePoint.portal.dll version number: 12.0.6331.5000
I usually rely on the SharePoint Team Blog for updates like this, but didn’t see one come across this time.
A few notes from the hotfix description pages:
- “When you search for more than 9 digits but less than 40 digits, you may not receive the expected search results”. Hmm. That seems like kind of a sweet spot in SharePoint’s search functionality. I haven’t seen this anywhere in the wild – anyone?
- I had several people at the MNSPUG yesterday mention issues they were seeing with the spell-checker in SharePoint. The coreservermui.msp version of the October Updates contains a few spell-check related fixes that might be relevant.
