AGENDA
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

PREVIOUS SOLUTIONS
<xsl:template name="dvt_1.noKeyword"> <span class="srch-description2"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$IsFixedQuery"> <xsl:value-of select="$NoFixedQuery" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$NoKeyword" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </span> </xsl:template> <!-- When empty result set is returned from search --> <xsl:template name="dvt_1.empty"> <div class="srch-results"> <xsl:if test="string-length($SrchRSSLink) > 0 and $ShowActionLinks"> <a type="application/rss+xml" href ="{$SrchRSSLink}" title="{$SrchRSSText}" id="SRCHRSSL" class="srch-ext-action-margin"> <img style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" src="/_layouts/images/rss.gif" alt=""/> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$SrchRSSText"/>
WONDERFUL XSLT
YES! I AM SAYING
THERE IS SOMETHING BETTER OUT

You’ll hear two very often
FAST &
Continuous Crawl
Continous Crawl24
Only works on SharePoint Content Sources By default runs every 15 minutes Set-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource Once indexed, content appears almost right away… like magic
25
Lots of added pressure on the server
THE REAL CONTINUOUS CRAWL
CRAWLED VS MANAGED
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.
BEFORE YOU SEARCH
POP QUIZ!
If I plan to use a Search-related Web Part
to show my content
What kind of Property should I use?

Site Columns, Content Types, Term Store, Lists
Let’s begin!
Prepare Products Lists
PREPARING THE PRODUCT LIST
and so... the journey
begins
Assign Product List as Catalog
ASSIGNING A LIST AS A CATALOG
Why? What are the benefits?
Let me show you instead
CONNECTING A PRODUCT CATALOG TO A PUBLISHING SITE

!Pages get created automatically with Content Search customized and configured
!Recommend creating your own !You can create as many as you want and change the
navigation to point to these new ones
