I really enjoyed the session and thanks to the attendees for your kind comments. (And sorry to the guy from Florida that I teased!) The fine AV folks at Tech•Ed online have posted the recording of my talk: OFC317 Search Challenges and Tricks

My image iFilter
A number of folks have been asking me about the iFilter I used to extract the facial information from the images. I built my demo on the beta version of the iFilter Shops XMP iFilter. They also have a WMV filter that can be used for video metadata.
The Files
Here is the collection of XSL files that I use to transform my pages in the demo. They will NOT work for you as is! I Promise! Remember that you have to map the crawled properties and name them the same way I did in my demo. That said, I am posting them so you can decipher them and understand HOW I did the transforms. After I get home I’ll post a step-by-step article on how to do it.

XML Demo
At the end of the session I had a question about how challenging it is to know what data is being returned by the query. I Agree! For example how did I know that rating returns 1, 25, 50, 75, and 99? I use the trick from my previous post Create a XML Test Page for Search Results
Awesome presentation Matthew, i was wondering if you have the PPT available, the link that is on the video presentation doesn’t work
Daniel, this is the 2007 version of the post. It was at TechEd so they probably finally changed the link. I’ll post the 2010 version shortly.
