About alexsmith

My name is Alex Smith and this is my blog on TechNet. I am part of Microsoft's Global Business Support (GBS) delivery organization, where I am a Senior Premier Field Engineer. This means that I support enterprise customers directly through engagements that range from a few hours to multiple years. My technical focus is on enterprise search applications, primarily using the SharePoint product.   

The best way to contact me regarding specific blog posts will be in the comments, where I plan to monitor and reply. If you are a Microsoft Premier Support customer and need assistance with your search application, you can work with your account team to find the right resource in your region. Many times these requests end up with my team involved somehow.
