At the BI Conference today, Ted Kummert demonstrated the new self-service user experiences that we’ve enabled in Office and SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008R2.
One of the items he demonstrated was the new Microsoft Business Intelligence Indexing Connector (MSBIIC), which extends the capabilities of FAST Search Server for SharePoint 2010, with the ability to enable users to quickly and easily find the relevant Business Intelligence documents.
You can try this out for yourself by downloading the components here –

And check out the keynote from TechEd here -> http://www.msteched.com/2010/NorthAmerica/Keynote02
In addition to discovering the documents, the MSBIIC will also crawl the data sources revealing items that are not necessary in the report itself but critical to the user’s discovery and as part of the refiners. Now users can find the relevant information all within a single user experience, no matter the type of document.
