4. Mobile Search

Mobile search in SharePoint 2010 does not require any special configuration. The features included provide for both content and people search. Full support of search scopes is provided as shown in Figure 5, along with the new capability to add filters and scopes. Finally, mobile search works with business data as well.

5. Mobile Views

Mobile views were first introduced in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. A mobile view provides access to a SharePoint site in a trimmed-down version for presentation in mobile device browsers, where load times for the full version would be slower and screen real estate is at a premium. In SharePoint 2010, mobile views have been substantially improved so that they provide almost full fidelity access to SharePoint content. Lists, images, and even Web Parts are now displayed in simplified, concise, and familiar form using mobile views. Furthermore, the mobile view for individual pages is directly editable within publishing sites. Document libraries include filters, a details view, and the ability to open documents directly with Office Mobile Web Applications if they are installed and configured.

In SharePoint 2010, the system automatically detects the browser type and redirects to the mobile view. To manually reach a mobile view of a page, list, or library, simply add ?mobile=1 at the end of the page URL, such as http://<servername>/sites/site1/default.aspx?mobile=1, and you will be redirected to the mobile view. SMS alerts or e-mail sent to a user’s mobile device include a link that can be accessed directly using a mobile browser.

5.1. Supported Web Parts, Pages, Lists, Libraries, and Columns
