Search Basics
Crawling
A scheduled activity that evaluates the content, meta-data and security.
Index
Processed info that describes the crawled content
Extremely fast compared to querying source content
Security
Only items the user has access to will be returned
Referred to as “Security Trimming”
9

Search Basics
Managed Properties
Can be used to query against a specific attribute
Examples:
Author
ContentType
CreatedBy
LastModifiedTime
FirstName
Version Differences:
In 2010 and before, these have to be managed in the Search Service Application
In 2013, these are automatically added when content is crawled
10

Search Basics
Scopes and Query Rules
Overview
Pre-set rules for filtering content
Can be defined and testing globally or at Site Collection level
Feature typically under utilized in most environments
Version Differences:
In 2010
Referred to as Scopes
Default scopes include: All Sites, People, This Site
In 2013
Referred to as Query Rules
Added ability to test the Query Rules
Added ability to target the Query Rules to content and audiences
11

Search Basics
Content Classification
ContentClass Overview
Not all content is the same
ContentClass property helps to segment content by its fundamental type
Examples:
SPSPeople – User Profiles
STS_Site – Site Collection
STS_Web – Site/Web
STS_list_[doccumentlibrary] * – List
STS_listitem_[documentlibrary] * – List Item
* Note name in brackets can be replaced with template name

Queries
13

Understanding Queries
Query Formatting
Limit – 255 characters
Content Classes - ContentClass:Value
Managed Properties - Property:Value
Logical Operators - AND, OR, NOT, +, -
Relational Operators - <, >, <=, >=, <>
Filename – filename:”name”
File Type – filetype:value
Wildcards – Property:Partial Value
14

Simple Query Examples
ContentClass:STS_Site
Uses the content classes specification to return all of the Site Collections
Department:”IT”
Would return all of the people with a value of IT in the Department user profile property
Filetype:PDF
Would return all PDF documents
15

Compound Query Examples
ContentType:”Check Request” AND RequestStatus:”Completed”
Returns results for items with a ContentType set to “Check Request” and a RequestStatus of “Completed”
contentclass:sts_listitem_announcements AND author:“Jane Doe"
Would return all announcements authored by Jane Doe
ContentType:”Enrollment Form” AND Write>”6/1/2012” AND Filetype:PDF
Would return all content classified as an Enrollment form, added or modified after 6/1/2012, and of the filetype
