Don't use folder names to help find your documents

Here is a gotcha...

If you use folder names in a SharePoint site, the search can find hte folder, but it ignores the folder name for bringing back documents.

So if you had a folder called BHP in a site called Clients and a document in there called Proposal.doc.

Then you searched for BHP you would get a link to the folder, but not one to the document.
Makes sense eh..

You really need to have a column for the client name if you would like to type in bhp and get all the doucments back.

Funny how most people miss this....until they think about the search results and the chaos if folder names were used to bring back documents.
