7. Can you send me the link to the PowerPoint you presented yesterday?
I need to find the most current industry research data for this client proposal.
Where did I put that spreadsheet for the sales call?
Hang on, I think it’s on my hard drive…or was it OneDrive? Maybe it’s on SharePoint
instead?”
I can’t find our health insurance claim form.
Where did I put that document I was working on?
Where did I put that spreadsheet for the sales call?
I need directions to Building 34 for tomorrow’s meeting.
We all struggle finding information…

8. Why?
Inundated by too much data and content
Searching at work is frustrating
Our expectations have changed

 Company intranets
 Cloud services
 SharePoint
 OneDrive
 Line of business applications
 On-premises servers
How much is too much?

2 Deloitte Oveview of emerging technologies

10. We are faced with multiple, distinct search
experiences:
 Context and application-switching to find information
 Each entry point has a different search UX
 Results are partial, and inconsistent across applications
and there are just too many results to dig through
to find the right one.
Why is searching at work frustrating?

11. We want searching at work to be
as easy as searching the web.
We want results that are relevant
and personalized.
We want answers to our questions, not just more
links.
Our expectations have changed…

12. As a result…
of our time at work is spent just
looking for information.20%

34.  When a user searches, Microsoft Search processes the query and parses
search intent from larger phrases, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to learn
common superfluous phrases users add to their queries that don't impact
their search intent
 For example, when a user searches for "how to change my password" we
extract the less important words from the query and trigger based on the
relevant ones like "change password".
 The search results that the user has permission to see are presented on the
search results page. Microsoft Search uses intelligent ranking algorithms to
order results based on relevance.
