One exciting part of pulling all of your data into a single discovery service is that, when you see wacky things in the display, it’s not immediately obvious where they came from! From a meeting yesterday, after a random search:

After the meeting while we were all hunting through various systems, somebody remembered that our trainer had added those notes, demonstrating public notes, and that they were only showing up on the test system. Whew.
