SharePoint Search Web Service Query Tool

The SharePoint Search web service query tool provides a great way to build your search queries and submit them to the MOSS/WSS Search web service

Download from CodePlex here

Toggle the server type to test against WSS/MOSS. Toggle the Query Type for keyword search or SQL Search. If you are trying to retrieve all Blog posts here is how your query would look

“select title,author,LastModifiedTime,Path,bodydescription from scope() where “scope”=’Blog Posts’ order by 3 desc”

Here we pull the different properties on a scope called “Blog Posts”
