How to Configure Search Keywords for SharePoint 2010 & Apply them to List Search Simple Web Part

As you know, among the most important features in SharePoint is the ability to search keywords and find any word on your Web Application. In this article, we will take a look at how to activate the required services to search keywords in SharePoint 2010.

We cannot search for a keyword on a site until we've first activated Search Services on the Central Administration page. Note: SharePoint does not activate Search Services automatically, and you must activate it manually. With Search Services activated, now we'll introduce you to how to configure the services to search keywords quickly.
