Exploring the New Search in SharePoint 2013 - What can you do now?
Nov 12, 2014
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”.

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
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.
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.
Display Templates
Overview of Display Templates
NO MORE XSLT!
• 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
Do not touch the JS
file
Example
Result Sources
1 - A search provider or source URL to get search results from
Similar to what we called « Scopes »
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
Result Types
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
Identify different types of results
2 - A display template to use for search results that meet the conditions.
Query RulesSimilar to the old Best Bets

Actions: Promoted Results
