Favicon's are 'Custom Icon for your websites'. A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed sites I have always preferred to call out favicons specifically with a link tag in the html head tag this way I ensure that my code, not the server, is handling the file. So now, how do you do this in SharePoint? Here are my steps Drag a favicon.ico file to the Images directory of your MOSS site with SharePoint designer. Add the following line to your Master Page at the bottom of the head section right before the /head tag: (link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico") Check-in, publish, and approve your Master Page so that anonymous folks can see the change.

External URLs must be provided to the user in a form that is appropriate for how the user is currently accessing the portal site. 2. Without alternate access settings, search results might be displayed in a way that would make them inaccessible to users. Users might receive search results that they cannot access whenever they access the portal site by using a URL that is different from the original URL used for crawling the content.
