Sharepoint Google Web Part

Just a quick post to link to and recommend a great web part freely available on the web.

The Google Web Part, by Mark Wagner, is a quick and simple add on which allows you to add the power of Google to your Sharepoint site. For me, it was a great way to alleviate all of the complaints about making our Sharepoint site the homepage for all users.

Been using it for a while, just had to install on a test machine, which prompted the post. Here’s the link.

Installation is easy too. You can either use the Web Part Installer on the page, or run the following commands to add and deploy.

stsadm -o addwppack -filename CastleRockGoogleWebPart.cab
stsadm -o deploywppack -name CastleRockGoogleWebPart.cab -url http://yoursharepointsite -immediate

Happy Googling!
