Issues that this hotfix package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issues:

• 950439  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=950439/ ) No results are returned when you search for German compound words or for German compound names in SharePoint Server 2007

This hotfix fixes the following issues that are not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

• In SharePoint Server 2007, you use the Business Data List Web part in a Web page. When you add more than two filters to the Web part, and then you click Retrieve Data, the data is not returned. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
  An unexpected error has occurred.
• In the Site Content and Structure page in SharePoint Server 2007, you browse the documents in a document library. When you click Edit Properties for a document, the page cannot load the Edit Item page. This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The site was created by using the Publishing Portal template or by using the Collaboration Portal template.
  • The Require Check Out setting of the document library is set to Yes.
  If you enable the Publishing Infrastructure feature for the site, you may be able to load the Edit Item page successfully. However, when you click OK after you edit a property on the Edit Item page, you receive the following error message:
  The file "The URL of the document" is not checked out. You must first check out this document before making changes.
• You configure SharePoint Server 2007 to crawl the content that is saved in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 public folder. If the subject of an item in the public folder contains a period (.) character or a number sign (#) character, you receive the following error message:
  Content for this URL is excluded by the server because a no-index attribute.
• When you search for an expression that contains a brace ({ or }) character on the Advanced Search page in SharePoint Server 2007, you receive the following error message:
  An unexpected error has occurred.
• You configure SharePoint Server 2007 to crawl a Lotus Notes content source. In the Manage Content Sources page, you add a new content source by specifying a database name. When you edit the newly created content source, the database name is not listed in the Database Name list.
  
• You configure SharePoint Server 2007 to crawl a Lotus Notes content source. You first perform a full crawl for the content source. However, when you click Edit content source for the content source, and then you click OK, you have to perform a full crawl again before you can search the content source. This behavior occurs even if you did not change any settings for the content source.
  
• In SharePoint Server 2007, you add a new search keyword that contains a best bet. The URL property of the best bet contains a single straight quotation mark (') character. When you try to remove the best bet, or you try to edit the best bet, the Edit Best Bet dialog box does not appear. Additionally, a JavaScript error occurs when you click Remove.
  
• In SharePoint Server 2007, you apply the hotfix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  948945  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=948945/ ) Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 hotfix package: February 21, 2008
  
  After you apply the hotfix, you search for a string on the search page that contains multiple misspelled words. In this case, an exception is thrown intermittently.
