Geolocation Search with SharePoint Fast Search Feature and A (star) Search Algorithm

Abstract

This paper represents a review on geolocation finding mechanism through SharePoint fast search and A* search algorithm. As a part of the SharePoint Fast search authors will compare two algorithms; Euclidean distance and Taxicab geometry distance in order to find a geolocation based on the shortest path. Throughout the paper, authors have highlighted the use of each individual algorithm (Euclidean distance, Taxicab geometry distance, and A* search algorithm) in terms finding the shortest path.
