Slides from "Supercharging SharePoint for Success with Search"
at Houston SharePoint User Group on Non 19th.
Ranges across 4 topics: best practices for search deployment, hybrid sharepoint and search, Delve and Office Graph, and Search-Driven Applications
Microsoft Search, the most powerful search engine in Microsoft's history ever, is here. For every organization in Office 365, it's becoming an organic piece of our everyday work. Therefore Search has to be part of the company's business strategy and roadmap, to maximize its long-term business value and benefits.
During this workshop, Agnes demonstrates how Microsoft Search works today and explains what you can expect in the future. Having a good understanding of these details is critical to your organization's strategy however, it's not enough. This is why Agnes goes far beyond the What's. She also explains How you can get your Office 365 tenant and content ready, and your users prepared. She provides detailed practical guidance on where to invest your time and resources and helps to set up an action plan which you can start implementing instantly.
Live360 2019 - Agnes Molnar - Search Like a ProAgnes Molnar
Search is often considered to be a magical "black box". It's like air or water: we don't recognize it as long as it works fine. But as soon as we don't get the results we expect we start complaining.
In this session, Agnes is de-mystifying Search in SharePoint and Office 365. She'll explain how it works behind the scenes in a way that makes sense not only for the Search Pros but also for the end users.
She'll demonstrate the basic concepts of the following things:
- how content becomes searchable;
- how data becomes filter (refiner), how it can be displayed on the user interface;
- how to define various "search verticals" and specific search applications;
- why is it important to add good metadata on the content AND empower all users to do the same;
- how content metadata becomes the "soul of search";
in classic and personalized search experiences in Office 365: why we have what we have, and how to get the most of this wide variety of search experiences;
- and many more.
Search like a Pro: Mythbusting the "Black Box" of SearchAgnes Molnar
KMWorld, Enterprise Search and Discovery 2019
Search is often considered to be a magical “black box.” Like air or water, we don’t recognize it when it works. But complaints start as soon as we don’t get the results we expect. Concentrating on search in SharePoint and Office 365, but with general applicability, Molnar explains how search works behind the scenes. She demonstrates how content becomes searchable, how data becomes a refining filter, how data can be displayed on the user interface, how to define various “search verticals” and specific search applications, and why is it important to add good metadata on the content and empower all users to do the same. Learn mythbusting from one of the best.
KMWorld, Enterprise Search and Discovery 2019
Congratulations! You’ve just been given the responsibility for search at your organization! Perhaps there is a new initiative to improve search, or perhaps the previous search manager mysteriously disappeared. In any case, you’ve discovered that search is a deceptively tricky domain, and that the expectations of many of your stakeholders are difficult to meet or even to define. This workshop provides an orientation and exposure to the key issues, effective processes, and technology—independent of what brand of search engine you use. It provides lay-of-the-land information and approaches to get you off to a good start. Topics include getting started and where to find practical guidance in search management; kinds of tasks and roles involved in managing search; building a cross-functional team; assessing the current state of search; establishing a vision and creating a findability strategy; getting stakeholders together and constructively involved; discovering and managing expectations; top misconceptions about search and how to educate your organization; top five and next five tools and techniques for improving search; updates and improvements; and measuring search: KPIs, tools, and techniques for internal search engine optimization. If you have been in the search manager’s role for a while but feel like you are missing a grounding in successful practices and management techniques, this workshop is still useful.

SharePoint Conference 2019: Microsoft Search in YOUR OrganizationAgnes Molnar
Organizations have invested in their information architecture, as well as 'classic' search, a lot. With the personalized and consolidated Microsoft Search, they are in front of a bright future - however, the content and search strategy has to be aligned.
In this session, Agnes overviews the latest updates, upcoming features and future vision, and helps you to define what, where and why you have to update. She also helps you plan to get the most out of Microsoft Search - both in short and long term
Why You Need to Invest to Search and How to do itAgnes Molnar
Many organizations don’t know what to expect from search, therefore don’t invest into it at all. Many want to have “quick wins” instead of committing to a long-term strategy: they want to implement changes or enhancements that require minimal effort to drive business value in the short term.
On the other hand, Search has to be the part of the company’s business strategy and roadmap, to maximize its long-term business value and benefits. In this workshop, Agnes will provide practical guidance on where to invest your time and resources. For long-term planning, she’ll provide an overview of industry trends and how to establish a value proposition and sell to the business. For your short-term benefits, she helps to set up an action plan which you can implement immediately.
Agnes Molnar: Personalized Search and Collaboration in Office 365Agnes Molnar
In today’s demanding business climate, it is common for people to get overwhelmed by the ever-growing volume of data and information.

How do you get ready for the upcoming challenges?
This session will not only cover the new “modern” and “personalised” capabilities in Office 365 but will also provide a guidance on how to get through this initial confusion.
Benefits of Attending this Session:
Discover the primary differences between “classic” and “personalised” search experiences.
Decide when to use which one – everyday scenarios and best practices.
Learn how to educate your users and help user adoption.
