The key to using the Internet as a business tool is to reduce that frustration and connect with customers in the easiest, most direct way possible. SEO (search engine optimization) is, perhaps, the fastest growing marketing tool available today and it works by putting your website at the top of search results page on Google and Bing when customers are searching for terms relevant to your business.
The Internet can work wonders: If you are looking for guidance on a home improvement project, there is a YouTube video for every conceivable “how to.” Need a last-minute recipe or want to find a unique gift item? Presto, with a few clicks results appear on your screen. Of course, it can also be frustrating. The key to using the Internet as a business tool is to reduce that frustration and connect with customers in the easiest, most direct way possible. In other words, don’t let potential leads get lost on their way to your website! (http://bit.ly/2ghsK8H)

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Microsoft Search is looking to bring the search experiences across
all Microsoft 365 services together into a single unified
experience. Attend this session to learn how the experience
impacts your users, how you can configure it as well as scenarios
where you should customize it.
INTRODUCTION TO SEARCH SRC101
M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
5. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
Although some analysts previously questioned the finding of search dominance, it's a user behavior that gets stronger
every year. Today, many users are so reliant on search that it's undermining their problem-solving abilities.
Ironically, the better search gets, the more dangerous it gets as people increasingly assume that whatever the
search engine coughs up must be the answer.
The undeniable role of Search in our daily lives

6. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
The undeniable influence of other sites on your design
What is it?
Users spend most of their time on sites other than yours. This means that
users prefer your site to work the same way as the sites they already use
and know.
What does this mean?
By leveraging existing mental models, we can design more
successful user experiences by reusing patterns for which users
are accustomed and allowing them to focus on their tasks.
With a 92% market share, the elephant in the room here is
Google. Specifically, users’ mental models for how search
and search features work will be heavily shaped by
their experience with Google (or with the dominant search
engine in their country), so your own site-search features should
cater to the expectations created by the big search engines.
8. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
The modern way to process complex search layouts is non-linear
In the old days of web search, users would reliably focus
their attention on the first few results at the top of the
page and would sequentially move from result to result
down the list. That linear SERP pattern still exists today,
but it’s the exception rather than the rule.
As the complexity of the SERP has grown, people’s
attention is distributed across the page.
In a pinball pattern, the user scans a results page in a
highly nonlinear path, bouncing around between
results and SERP features. With the high cost-benefit
and often eye-catching nature of these features, our
mental models have adapted to balance our
attention between “organic results” and SERP
features as a more effective and reliable means to
getting the answer we need.
11. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
The impact of google on our users and their brains
Search features like those discussed have an impact on user behaviour by:
1. Acting as a signpost: Things like images or video thumbnails enables users to quickly verify the results are relevant
2. Directing the user’s attention: Humans do a continuous cost–benefit analysis to decide whether the interaction
cost of scanning or clicking on a result is worth their time. Users have learned that most of the time the SERP features
contain the answers they’re looking for (thus, they have a high benefit) and they involve little interaction cost, because
they don’t require an extra click, reading lengthy content, or leaving the current view
3. Modifying queries and tasks: We know that most users are terrible at generating alternate search strategies. But
through SERP features, Google can present several expanded interpretations of the query in natural language and
allow the user to explore those alternatives without leaving the page.
4. Providing quick answers: In cases where users have a simple information need, SERP features can provide a quick
and easy answer. If users want an address, phone number, or definition, there’s no need for them to click to through to
visit a site. Good abandonment occurs when users finds their answer on a SERP and decide to end their task
successfully.
Features like these are impacting the mental models of our user base, and therefore finding similar
patterns is important for us to consider in the context of Microsoft365.

Design challenges within the Digital Workspace
Search and navigation work hand in hand to promote information findability. As content footprints grow and complexity,
findability becomes an increasingly challenging problem to resolve for end users.
Where Do We See Challenges?
As Microsoft continues to expand the scope and scale of functionality within its suite, this can sometimes leave core user
experiences strained or stretched. Furthermore, many companies struggle in effectively implementing what is available.

Design challenges posed by search
Led by innovation on the web, users are becoming increasingly reliant
on search.
The convenience of searching on mobile, coupled with faster internet speeds and
more sophisticated devices, have acclimated people to getting exactly what they
want, where they want, and when they want it.
In our daily lives, search has become friction-less, and as a result, expectations
have risen dramatically.
16. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM

Search should “just work”
Search should be easy
Search results should be

Search should provide answers to
our questions, not just more links
17. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
Design challenges posed by search
Search in SharePoint has a long history of delivering poorly designed and executed search experiences,
leading to a frustrated user base often preferring to avoid its use altogether. In many cases, these issues actually
stemmed from content issues, information architecture issues, or user training issues. However, it also suffered from
its fair share of design issues.
In fact, even today, when interviewing users during a current state review it remains the #1 most common
complaint.
We know search is important, let’s look at the costs of getting it wrong:
Wasted time
searching for
content
Demotivated
employees
Increased
service costs
Increased risk
Wasted time
recreating
content
Uninformed
decisions
Loss of
confidence in
the platform
18. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
Design challenges posed by search
Search only succeeds if it is designed in a way that
allows users to consume a lot of information very
quickly. Put plainly, our goal is to realize the most
benefit (best results) with the least effort possible.
If users don’t see immediate evidence that their search
is yielding good results, they quickly abandon the
solution and look for alternate means to find the
information. Once trust in search is lost, it is
incredible challenging to get it back.

personalized search will prioritize the results that are most likely to achieve your objective.

Results cards are tailored to the type of content they are attempting to surface. Searching for people via the
consolidated Microsoft Search delivers a fairly consistent experience across Microsoft 365 (and even Windows).
This helps with change management efforts and is aligned with the Microsoft roadmap of providing a
consolidated experience.

You can add search verticals that are relevant to your organization. These will appear on the Microsoft
Search results page in SharePoint, Office, and Bing.
For example, you could create a vertical for marketing-related
content and another for sales, based on the type of information that
each group needs. You can add verticals to show results only from
content indexed via custom connectors.

Identifying root causes to search problems
Often times it is content bad practices that plague the efficacy of Search
Poor naming conventions
– Content is difficult to find due to jargon, abbreviations or other bad practices
Poor search scoping
– Search is scoped to too much/too little content and therefore users feel that information is missing
Poor security practices
– People have access to too much information, or too little
Poor content publishing practices
– Rather than relying on best practices for version control, multiple copies of a document are saved
Missing content lifecycle processes
– Old/outdated content is not archived or moved when it is no longer broadly useful
Limited metadata
– Search relevancy is hampered by inaccurate, poorly designed, or missing metadata

Search is yielding results
without appropriate context, so
even if my content is found, users
don’t have confidence they have

Administrator
Search does not include results
from our other core systems
Search is difficult to offer
in multiple languages
Search does not offer built-in
methods to flag problems
Search requires maintenance and
expertise to remain optimized
68. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
The search box context behaves contextually which is nice in theory but also means a user needs to
consciously consider where they are searching from every time they want to run a search (high interaction
cost).
Challenge
The helper text is a good idea but it’s easy to miss, disappears when you type, and has labels
that not all users will find (e.g., “Search across sites”).
69. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
An extension of the search box problem is the search box suggestions. Once typing begins we further lose
sight of what we are searching against.
Challenges
While a good Search UX technique, you can see here that it
adds to the lack of context clarity.
70. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
While the breadcrumb is a common UI element, it is not one that many users are
accustomed to seeing (or using) in the SEPR context.
Challenges
As a result, most users seem to miss it in
the context of Search Results pages and
certainly do not have an intuitive sense
of what effect this may have on the
results they are seeing.
71. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
It is possible to override a site’s search scope but it can only be changed to Hub or Tenant levels, leaving
a wide gap for environments where content spans multiple hubs.
Challenges
In these cases we have to choose
between too little content, and too much.

You have the ability to configure key corporate ‘assets’ like People, Locations, Bookmarks (best bets) at the

Challenges
Key corporate ‘assets’ like People,

don’t show up unless you are at the
organizational level.
73. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
Out of the box refiners are incredibly limited.
Challenges
It is difficult to offer tailored search
experiences leveraging enterprise
metadata to help users filter and sort
through pre-defined verticals.
74. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
People don’t necessarily know where things live but more importantly, labels like “whole organization” are
not necessarily clear.
Challenges
Especially on an intranet, people
expect to be able to search for
things like Locations and People –
it’s a traditional type of content you
would find there.
Intranets also want to project that
“its content” is authoritative and
approved, and sometimes pulling
content in very broadly works
against that desire.
75. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
One of the biggest complaints we hear about search is that it brings back multiple
copies of the same thing – eroding trust in the system.
Challenges
Users don’t have an easy way to
report what they are seeing is a
problem, and it it’s not easy, no
one will do it.
76. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
The people card is overall a really great experience.
Challenges
Many limitations in adding
custom enterprise properties to a
user’s profile.
Additional attributes can be
displayed, but they are not
searchable.
SharePoint profile properties are
disconnected from the new
experience and painful to update
77. M365VIRTUALMARATHON.COM #M365VM
Microsoft Search utilizes a complex ranking model driven by Graph and artificial intelligence which draws
upon a host of data points to make results relevant and helpful.
Challenges
The relevancy model cannot be
configured in a systemic way
other than via ad-hoc overrides

Editor's Notes

Actually some studies show that users are increasingly unable to alter their search strategies when facing unexpected results.
Baidu in china
12 years of evolution
Because many SERP features have been so successful, this has shifted our mental cost-benefit analysis to jump between results and these features as a more effective and reliable means to getting the answer we need. In the process of information foraging, humans do a continuous cost–benefit analysis to decide whether the interaction cost of scanning or clicking on a result is worth their time. Users have learned that most of the time the SERP features contain the answers they’re looking for (thus, they have a high benefit).

Users often run into unfamiliar acronyms and abbreviations used by their organization or team. Terms that are specific to organizations or teams might be new to people who move from one team to another, work with internal partner teams, or are new to the organization.
Organizations don't always have a single reference for their standard terminology. Lack of a single reference makes it hard to find definitions for these acronyms
