One of my projects from last year was nominated for and won the IWS, Search Partner of the Year award. We received the award for a project we did for the Dutch consultancy company Twynstra Gudde.

We created a system which allows the user to search through many different subsystems using the simplest interface we could design:

Under the surface the system combines the results from all of their back-end systems to give the user a complete view of all the information available relevant to their search query.

The search results are presented in way that allows a user to filter the results and find detailed pages (all red text is a link):

I am very proud that I was part of the team to build this solution, which the client is very enthusiastic about and the Microsoft chose to honor with the Search Partner of the Year award!
