Search is no longer simply about "Search". While information overload is the reality of our lives, and everyone talks about Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT), findability gets more and more critical. The "old school" Search Center experience is outdated - we need something better, something more, something that is more efficient, more user-friendly and more helpful. Recognizing these challenges is the first step of a long journey. In this session, I'm introducing proven steps toward being successful with Search, as well as common mistakes which you can avoid if you're well prepared.

Editor's Notes
- END USER level 200
- More than Technology
- Don’t get scared Complex, challenging but beautiful
- FINDABILITY is what we should be focused on. Search is just a piece of that. We’ve had navigation for a long time (though many of us never got it right). We’ve been focused on search Search is dependent upon accessibility of the content (permissions, technology [format & container & connectors to content]) & information architecture (which again, many of us never got right) The user experience of search has gotten better Some search results take into account user interactions with content (e.g. clicks) but they are accounting for other users’ behaviors related to a search query, not my behaviors or preferences. What’s been missing is the user himself or herself. An understanding of the user—their persona—to help determine what the user might be trying to find or should find.
