5. Enterprise Search: A History
SharePoint 2003 Search: Primitive, poor look
SharePoint 2007 Search: Started Enterprise Search, powerful engine, still too much work for better interface
SharePoint 2010 Search: Two Search Experiences
SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search: Enhanced features of 2007 ES, better look and interface
Fast 2010 Search: Powerful querying and indexing Engine, much better interactivity for user experience.

6. SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Search
Search is new and different from all previous versions of SharePoint
The platform has been consolidated
Built on a combination of FAST Search and SharePoint Search components, as well as new development work – it is the same from Foundation to Server
Foundation Search is intended to replace WSS Search, Microsoft Search Server and Search Server Express from previous versions of SharePoint
There are new components, new topology, new features
All will be covered on subsequent slides
It’s used pervasively throughout the product now in many different ways, in different features
eDiscovery, navigation, topic pages, Internet facing business sites, etc.
It’s installed by default when you run the farm configuration wizard
SharePoint Search was in 2010; FAST Search for SharePoint was not

8. Index Component Feed / Query Replication Topology Changes
Feeding: receives processed items from the content processing component and persists those items to index files
Query: receives queries from the query processing component and provides results sets in return
Replication
Replicates index content between replicas within the same index partition
Topology Changes
Responsible to apply index partition changes when there is a topology change
4/23/2019

9. Query Processing Component
Performs linguistic processing at query time:
Word breaking, stemming, query spellchecking, thesaurus
It receives queries and analyzes and processes the them to attempt to optimize precision, recall and relevancy; the processed query is submitted to the index component(s)
As part of this it also decides which query rules are applicable, which index to send the query to, and whether to do any pre- or post-processing of the query
The index returns a result set back to the query processing component, which processes it before sending it back

10. How did you build your Search SA?
SharePoint Configuration Wizard?
SharePoint Central Administration through create new Service Application?
Still Not working????

12. Creating the Perfect Search Experience
Search Application
Creating the Perfect Search Experience
Don’t Fret
Not all command line processes are freaking horribel
First Step
SharePoint PowerShell command for initial creation and configuration. All databases SharePoint based functions are included through and easy search SA creation script
Second Step
Content Sources, Crawl Rules, Indexing Rules… Etc. all through Central Administration and Search Administration. There is a powerful web interface for that matter and it is safe to it for these purposes and you can still use PowerShell commands to achieve all this if you are a “Script Commando”
Don’t Do It
Avoid creating Search Application through any web tool from SharePoint If possible avoid creating any Search Application but through SharePoint PowerShell.

Multi-Source Indexing
4/23/2019

16. Crawling the Content
The crawl role is responsible for crawling content sources. It delivers crawled items – both the actual content as well as their associated metadata – to the content processing component
Invokes connectors or protocol handlers to content sources to retrieve data
Does not do any document parsing (Content Processing Component does that)
Information about content sources, schedules, etc. are synchronized to the registry on crawl servers from the search admin database
The Crawl Database is used by the crawl component to store information about crawled items and to track crawl history
Holds information such as the last crawl time, the last crawl ID and the type of update during the last crawl.
4/23/2019

17. How the Crawler Feeds Content Processing
Index Component
CPC
Crawler
CSS
A crawler sends data to the Content Submission Service (CSS)
CSS is then responsible to distribute loads across Content Processing Components (CPC)
Inside the CPC the content is transformed and gets ready to be indexed
Document parsing, word breaking, entity extraction, security, link info, and content from web service callout then sends the metadata and document content to an index component
CPC then tells the Crawler whether the document was successfully indexed or not so failures can be retried; failed documents and error codes are shown in the Crawl Log
4/23/2019

18. Crawl Connectors
The following connectors will be available out of the box in SharePoint:
SharePoint
HTTP
File Share
BDC – also includes these other connectors that are built on BDC framework:
Exchange Public Folders
Lotus Notes
Documentum Connector
Taxonomy Connector
Requires the Term Store to be provisioned for crawling, so requires SharePoint Server
People Profile Connector
Requires the profile store to be deployed and populated; profile store is only part of SharePoint Server

22. Result Types
SharePoint 2013 includes a new framework for presenting search results to end users called result types
Result types have several elements that enable each type to be rendered differently:

23. Display Templates
Display templates contain the following characteristics:
They define the visual layout of a Result Type
A template is really just HTML
You can edit it with ANY HTML designer you want – Dreamweaver, SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio, Notepad – doesn’t matter
You add placeholders to your HTML file where managed properties should be emitted
It gives you a real WYSIWIG experience when designing templates
A set of display templates is included OOB; you can find them in the Master Pages/Display Templates/Search folder
Site collection admins can upload new display templates

Search Scopes
4/23/2019

27. What Are Search Scopes?
Search scopes allow users to narrow their searches based on the topics, areas, and content sources of items on the portal. Search scopes appear to all users in a list next to the portal search box. Search scopes may be limited by either topics and areas or the type of content sources where content outside the portal can be found. Content sources outside the portal can be grouped into certain types, and you may want to limit your search scope to exclude or include particular content source groups.

Created on the SA Level

30. Search Scopes in SharePoint 2013
Search Scopes Deprecated in 2013!
Replaced by Result Sources
No configuration from Central Admin
No index compilation
4/23/2019

31. I heavily use Search Scopes. Am I Doomed?
4/23/2019

32. Search Scopes in 2013 Replaced by Result Sources Achievable by:
Creating new search results page
Change Query in result web part and edit the query to match your scope
Add the link to this page through “Search Navigation” settings

The Instant Search Suggestions

35. Query Suggestions
Query suggestions take a big leap forward in usability. It improves on the experience as follows:
Your personal SharePoint activity factors into the query suggestions, i.e. you have a personal query log
It includes weighting based on sites that you have previously visited
It uses the most frequent queries across all users that “match” the search terms
The behavior of the query suggestions turns into more of a “browse and find” kind of experience
You can also add inclusion and exclusion lists for suggestions via the search service application admin pages
4/23/2019

36. Query Suggestion Types
There are two types of query suggestions – what you see when you are entering a query, and what you see when you get results
When entering a query you will see two types of suggestions:
A list of items you have clicked on before from your personal query log
A list of items that others are typing for their queries
When you get query results back, you will get another set of suggestions
They are a list of links that you have clicked through at least twice before and that match your search criteria
4/23/2019

37. Query Suggestion Examples
After the Query Suggestion
Top 3 items are ones you clicked before
Before the Query Suggestion
Above are items based on what other users have queried and found
Bottom 3 items are ones you clicked before
