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
