Similarly, I have found that junior admins inadvertently cause indexing follies of sorts doing migrations.  If the junior admin is completing a migration of data through the method of moving a content database from one SharePoint farm to another, there seems to be a high frequency of not defining the indexer for the database in question.  In as such, the content database’s site collections are not indexed and search results continue to return not full results.

Other indexing follies that continue to persist:

Happy Indexing!

For those that are search aficionados, it’s a nice review.  For those that know very little on the topic and are wondering why their search results aren’t operating the way that they may expect them to (or they just don’t know what to expect) a must read.
