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.
DEMO:
Search – “college”

Provide Feedback – formal and informal
Think of Search & findability when you create/upload content
Metadata!!!
Metadata Everywhere
Metadata Inventory:
Common metadata (title, author, etc.)
Custom metadata for each content type
Content audit
Stakeholders & Key users
Existing metadata and needed metadata
Manual
Auto-tagging
Simple syntax but needs practicing

If Dan delegates his inbox to Agnes, would his email attachments show up in her Delve? [??]
Email message with attachment
Attachment metadata indexed/in Graph [yes – ‘obvious’]
Security of attachment inherited from inbox?
Message not indexed/in Graph but appears in the Delve preview [yes - visible]
Attachment is not indexed [tested]
IRM??
Terminology: Private “signal” -> Private relationship? Node?
Is Hybrid Search a dependency for Hybrid Delve?
