✅ When to Use Which?

Use SharePoint if:

• You're building a corporate intranet or internal portal

• You need tight Microsoft 365 integration

• Document management and permissions are critical

• You're operating in a Microsoft-centric enterprise environment

Use WordPress if:

• You're building a public-facing website or blog

• You want a custom-branded site with SEO, analytics, eCommerce

• You prefer flexibility and faster development

• You have limited technical resources or budget

• Will be hacked, plan to throw away and restart with back-up (author experience)

• Back-up, back-up, back-up

Final Thoughts

• SharePoint is a corporate productivity and collaboration platform.

• WordPress is a flexible and powerful web CMS for public-facing content.

They’re not direct competitors—you could even use both: SharePoint for internal use, WordPress for external websites.

Profile Builder Search Super Optimization and Boolean Search Optimization

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-builder/
Profile Builder is WordPress registration done right and also creates custom profiles.




I purchased the Extended WP Profile Builder PRO Plug-in with Advanced User Listing including Search. But I found this search to be very slow. 

I re-wrote the search to be super optimized query, which reduces search time from avg 1.87s (with 10 users in database) reduced to 0.016s which is  99.1% quicker,  or 2 orders of magnitude quicker.

Moreover, I add default fields from wordpress to search as well including username, email and first and last name. The search is much more robust this way.

Profile Builder Improved Search Request Form

I'd like to purchase the code for Profile Builder PRO Search Super Optimization.

Moreover, I have developed and implemented my proprietary search called Logicktronic Search for PHP.

Logicktronic Search will take any search string and try to make sense out of the input in terms of the Boolean operators (and, or) that are used. Moreover, Logicktronic Search implements search for an exact word or phrase by using double quotes to delineate phrases. 

For example, lets take the following search examples; 

1. Fred "Accounting Financial Services" 
   
   CORRECTED SEARCH ->  Fred OR "Accounting Financial Services"
   
   EXPLANATION: Added OR to make clear of Boolean operand used
2. Fred and or and "Accounting Financial Services"
   
   CORRECTED SEARCH ->  Fred AND "Accounting Financial Services"
   
   EXPLANATION: Reduced Boolean operators to first one
3. Fred or and "Accounting and Financial or Services"
   
   CORRECTED SEARCH ->  Fred OR "Accounting and Financial or Services"
   
   EXPLANATION: Reduced Boolean operators to first one, and search phrase is preserved.
4. Fred Wilma and Barney or or and or "The Flintstones" 
   
   CORRECTED SEARCH ->  
   Fred OR Wilma AND Barney OR "The Flintstones"
   
   EXPLANATION: Will reduced any number of combination of Boolean operators to first one, and search phrase is preserved.

Google Docs Viewer requiring user to log-in to view document - Fix - Force signout of Google Account

If you get the following log-in into Google URL (call it status 1209600) while trying to view a document using Google Doc Viewer of a local resource (NOT a resource hosted on Google Drive) and get the following error; 

https://accounts.google.com/SeviceLogin?service=wise&passive=1209600&continue=https://docs.google.com/viewer?url={urlencoded URL to your PDF doc }...

then your issue is you have not logged-off the Google universe or clear the cookie to view the file. 

I found this to be a particular issue for Internet Explorer 7. IE 8 -> 10 worked fine.  

To log-off Google-verse programmatically and flush credentials using the following before your Google Doc Viewer Iframe;  

<iframe id="google-signout" 
        src="https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout" 
        style="width: 1px; height: 1px; display: none;" 
       frameborder="0"></iframe>

<iframe id="google-signout" 
        src="https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout" 
        style="width: 1px; height: 1px; display: none;" 
       frameborder="0"></iframe>
