SharePoint
• Search is now being leveraged as a content delivery mechanism in a variety of methods
• Navigational elements can be dynamically adjusted leveraging well placed searches
• Conceptual searching delivers the ability to find like items without forcing manual tagging
Proactive Searching
How to determine the benefits
• Finding things faster is too broad a statement
• Define what you want to accomplish– Targeted sales– Reduced traditional searches– Increased collaboration
• Define how to measure your effectiveness– Increased sales– Higher site utilization– Reduced corporate redundancy
Where to start
• Analyze your content– Ensure its relevancy– Many good platforms suffer
from irrelevant content• Know your environment
– Keep security in mind– Build your roles early
• Plan to keep your content fresh– Start with a plan to continually
ingest new content
Keys to success
• Go to where your users live– Embed search with their
current environments– Get a variety of user samples
• Tag what you can– Dynamic filters based on search
help quickly trim down large result sets
– Tag values can be derived from the content itself
• Adjust your content to fit users– Use your tags and user
feedback to adjust relevancy– Highlight new content when
possible
