58. DISCOVER
CONTENT
with SharePoint 2013

59. Problems we’ve faced
•Hard if not impossible to see content
from other lists/libraries on other Sites
•Even worst for another Site Collection
•XSLT!
•Change the way results
are shown
•Contextual Results
•Having to ask Admins for
every little thing..queries
•And much more...

60. SEARCH!
Best of FAST Search algorithms
Document Thumbnails
Query Language (FQL)
Architecture
Visual Best Bets User Segmentation
Metadata Extraction
Continuous Crawl
Analytics
Result Sources
Result Types
Query RulesDisplay Templates
Search Web Parts
Cross-Site Publishing
Product Catalog Search-Drive Sites

61. Continuous Crawl

62. The Real Continuous Crawl
•Only works on SharePoint Content Sources
•By default every 15min
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource
•Once indexed, content appears almost right away...like magic
•Lots of added pressure on the Server

63. Before we start
ANYTHING
with Search
Crawled Property: Content & Metadata extracted
(document itself, url, Title, etc…)
Managed Property: Includes 1 or multiple mapped
Crawled Properties and exists in the Search Index.
Managed Properties are what SharePoint uses to Display Content.

64. POP QUIZ!
If I plan to use a
Search-related Web Part
to show my content
!
What kind of Property
should I use?

65. MANAGED
PROPERTY

67. Power to the Site Collection
Administrators!

68. Search Schema
Managed Metadata managed at the Site
Collection Level

69. Result Sources
No more Search Scopes
(Except if you upgrade from SharePoint
2010)
Result Sources
also replace
Federated
Search

70. Result Types
Define conditions to identify certain result
types and associate actions to them
Usually used to change the display of
these result types within the Search
Results

71. Query Rules
Remember Best
Bets?
!
Promoted
Results?

72. Query Suggestions
Managed at the Farm Level from Central
Administration
Can be exported and manipulated,
otherwise will grow with time

73. Content Search
WebPart


74. Content Search
Essentially 2 thing
1. Query
2. Display

75. Demo

76. Display Templates

77. • Stored in “~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/”
• Provides reusable displays for your Content
• NO MORE XSLT! HTML and Javascript
• Uses “Managed Properties” to show the content in right <div>
The basics of Display Template

78. Do not
touch
the JS
file

79. Example

80. Hmmmm
What if...
!
What if our
entire page
was 1 search
result with a
“page” display
template.

81. BRANDING
with SharePoint 2013

82. Branding before SharePoint 2013
