No one will argue, one of the major changes brought to SharePoint 2013 lies around Search. With the new Continuous Crawl, the new architecture and the many changes to the existing and new Web Parts, your architecture will need to be re-worked. This session is for those with experience in SharePoint 2010 that want to see how we can exploit the new features and Web Parts to build our own new Search Center. This session will cover:
What is Continuous Crawl?
Using Analytics to better the user experience with search
Changes and new Web Parts for Search (refinement, search results, content search, etc.)
Result Types and Rules
Display Templates
And more…
The release of the new SharePoint 2013 with this advanced Search will greatly influence the way you architect your SharePoint. This session gives you the opportunity to see what can be done with Search so you don’t have to say “I wish I knew that before”.
11. 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

13. Analytics and Search
Search analytics analyzes content that is being crawled and added to the search index.
Usage analytics analyzes user actions, or usage events, such as clicks or viewed items, on
the SharePoint site.
14. Crawled & Managed
A crawled property is content and metadata that is extracted from an item, such as a document or a
URL, during a crawl.
!
To include the content and metadata of crawled properties in the search index, you map crawled
properties to managed properties. Managed properties can have a large number of settings, or
attributes. These attributes determine how the contents are shown in search results.
18. The basics of Display Template
• 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>
21. Result Sources
Similar to what we called « Scopes »
1 - A search provider or source URL to get search results from
2 - A protocol to use to get search results
3 - A query transform, which can narrow results from the given search
provider or URL to a specified subset
22. Result Types
Identify different types of results
1 - One or more characteristics or conditions to compare each search result
against, such as the result source or content type of the search result
2 - A display template to use for search results that meet the conditions.
23. Query Rules
Similar to the old Best Bets
Influence the SharePoint Search Results
Actions:
Promoted Results
Result Block
Change Ranked Results by changing Query
