Build a Search-Driven SharePoint 2013 Site from Start to Finish
IS THIS GOING TO BE A DEV SESSION?
BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO CODE EITHER!
BUT I HAVE TO DELIVER SOLUTIONS IN SHAREPOINT AND THEY HAVE TO LOOK
GOOD TOO
NO
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
SHOW US IN SHAREPOINT?
TO FIND AND DISPLAY!
GOOD, BECAUSE I AM HAVING SOME
ISSUES IN SHAREPOINT
2010
Showing data from multiple lists/libraries at the same time
Change the date format in a list/library
Contextual Results
Changing the look of what we are seeing
Accessing information from other Site Collections

YES! I AM SAYING
THERE IS SOMETHING BETTER OUT

How do we get here?
DON’T GET TOO
EXCITED
FIRST…
What’s CHANGED
in SharePoint

SEARCH!Best of FAST Search algorithms
Document ThumbnailsQuery Language (FQL)
Architecture
Visual Best Bets User Segmentation
Metadata Extraction
Continuous Crawl
Analytics
Result SourcesResult Types
Query RulesDisplay Templates
Search Web Parts
Cross-Site Publishing
Product Catalog Search-Drive Sites
Updated Search Web Parts
Content Search
Display Templates
No XSLT
Search Results
Result Sources
Result Types
Refinement
Search Driven Sites
You’ll hear two very often
FAST &
Continuous Crawl
Continuous Crawl
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
Full Crawl / ContinuousOn-Demand
Crawled vs Managed Properties
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.
POP QUIZ!
If I plan to use a Search-related Web Part
to show my content
What kind of Property should I use?
MANAGED PROPERTY
Cross-Site Publishing &
Product Catalog
Prepare Site Collections
Site Templates Working Together
2
Site Columns, Content Types, Term Store, Lists
Prepare Products Lists
Let’s begin!
Assign Product List as Catalog
and so... the journey
begins
Connect Publishing to Catalog
#auspc #nzspc
CONNECT PUBLISHING TO CATALOG
Why? What are the benefits?
Let me show you instead
Create New Category & Item page
Content Search
Query Builder
What’s changed?
HTML CSS JS
NO XSLT
DISPLAY TEMPLATES
Looking Good!
The basics of Display Template
They are everywhere
The « container »
Best way to reference custom files (JavaScript, CSS, etc…)
Control
Item
Controls what happens to each item rendered
through the query
Use Managed Properties to show
the content you want where you
want using HTML
Do not touch the JS
file

Result Sources
Formerly « 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
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
2 - A display template to use for search results that meet the
conditions.
Query Rules
Similar to the old Best BetsInfluence the SharePoint Search Results
Actions: Promoted ResultsResult BlockChange Ranked Results by changing Query
APPLY LOOK & FEEL
ok so I may have prepared
this before
Good Work
