I've mentioned it during the Office DevCon 2005 but it's finally here on GotDotNet: Extending and Enhancing the SharePoint Portal Server Search User Interface user sample!
Sample code from the Office Developer Conference 2005 session "Extending and Enhancing the SharePoint Portal Server Search User Interface". This code includes contributions made by Mike Schneider to the "Creating a Site Context Search Box" article/code on MSDN including: Search Box (HTC Menu and multiple Portal configs) and Search Results (wildcards, boolean and hit highlighting).
Especially the last one, I've been waiting for. Great!
