Many websites rely on search instead of good information architecture, but many times search isn't well designed. This presentation reviews how to look at site search analytics, metadata and taxonomy, and user testing to improve the internal search
Rethinking Search Results from a UX PerspectiveBrian Frank
Post-secondary education websites have evolved a lot over the past decade. Search results pages have hardly changed. We’re long overdue to envision better ways to help users find what they’re looking for, faster and with fewer frustrations.
By looking at tested examples of user interfaces from ecommerce and other industries, we’ll explore ideas for radically rethinking the search experience on post-secondary websites. We’ll also discuss tips for using research to guide these decisions and avoid copying design patterns that aren’t suited to post-secondary information or user needs.
While organizations often give plenty of attention to search engine optimization (SEO) and how their websites appear in Google or Bing, are you spending enough time on your onsite search results? This presentation explains why it is crucial to optimize your onsite search as much as you would your organic search results. Then tips are offered to make your onsite search results as strong as possible so users stay satisfied and engaged with your product or service. While these tips focus on search features offered through Drupal, they can also be applied to different internal search engines and content management systems.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

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!
3. Why is it important to “search
smart”?
● The skill enable students and teachers to access and information and create
meaningful learning experiences that, in turn, engage them in critical thinking and
analysis.
● Being able to ‘search smart’ not only opens up worlds of opportunities and learning
possibilities to students, but it saves them valuable time and is a highly-demanded
skill in the modern workplace.
4. Role of a Teacher
To develop students into digitally literate, life long learners, ready to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
6. The ‘3’ Smart Search Basic
1. Choosing the right search terms
2. Understanding search results
3. Narrowing the search to get the best
results
7. Choosing the right searchterms
Every word counts in a Google search, so choosing the right
words makes a big difference.
Teach students to identify the keywords that they could use in
searches.
using these keywords in a query is more likely to return
results that actually meet the students’ needs.
8. Understanding search Results
● Search bar: This is near the top of the results page, where you can see your query and
modify it or enter a new one.
● Ads: These results appear in the right-hand column and sometimes at the top of the
results in a colored box. They are always marked with the word “Ads,” so you can
easily identify them as paid results.
● Natural results: These results are below the ads, are not paid for by anyone, and
cannot be bought.
● Filters: These links are at the top navigational menu, just below the search bar - more
explained below on these.
● Knowledge Graph: When you search for a person, place, or thing Google may show
this special information box on the right-hand side of the screen.
9. NArrowing a search to get the best results
There are a number of ways to narrow your search results.
● Modifiers: You can use special characters and words to get more specific
search results; these are referred to as Modifiers. For example, if you use a
hyphen (-) before a word in a query it will exclude results that contain this
word.
● Filters: When you complete a Google search, there are a number of filters
you can apply to your search to narrow your results. These filters appear
below the search box. With filters, you can narrow your search results to
images, videos, maps, shopping, and more by clicking on one of these filters.
● Search Tools: To refine your search further, click on Search tools and you
can filter results by where or when they originated.
10. Challenge: How can you get pictures of vertebrate
(fish) in your search result?
Student Response:
1. Type Resources in the search box.
2. Click Images.
3. Click Search tools.
4. Click natural resources , then select the red filter.
5. To return to all results, click Clear below the search box.
11. Challenge: What’s the quickest way to exclude
terms from your search results?
Student Response:
Use the minus/dash symbol in front of words you
want to be excluded in your search query
For example: human resources - natural and man
made resources
12. When you search online
Remember to be a good detective and
look for clues of good website….. The
website address, how it is written and
how it looks!
