Searching Custom Column Values in MOSS 2007

An interesting article!

“An issue that came up on a recent project was how can we search custom meta-data on document libraries in MOSS 2007? So for instance, let’s say that in a set of document libraries in a site or across a number of sites each will have a custom column named “Department” that is of a data type “Choice” and the possible values are each department in an organization. Now let’s say that end-users would like to use advanced search to use the Department field as search criteria.”
