- 8. Cross Site Publishing 1. You create content in libraries and lists in a site collection where cross-site publishing is enabled. You enable these libraries and lists as catalogs. 2. You crawl the content in your catalog- enabled libraries and lists. This will add the catalog content to the search index. 3. You add one or more Search Web Parts to the site collections where you want to display your catalog content. 4. When users view a page, the Search Web Parts issue queries to the search index. Query results are returned from the search index, and shown in the Search Web Parts.
- 9. Changes in Crawling Continuous Crawl In SharePoint Server 2013, you can configure crawl schedules for SharePoint content sources so that crawls are performed continuously. Setting this option eliminates the need to schedule incremental crawls and automatically starts crawls as necessary to keep the search index fresh. Administrators should still configure full crawls as necessary. Only available for content sources that use the SharePoint sites content source type. Default Interval is 15 minutes – can reduce via PowerShell Others, but not an “End User topic”

Editor's Notes
- Hover Panel - Document Preview – very fast - Number of viewsDistinguish Search results based on their type- MS Office documents display the application icon in front of the title of the search result- Newsfeed conversation results display the number of replies and the number of likes to the right- Site results list the top links that users often click on the sitePeople in results show the picture and the Lync availability status to the leftResult Blocks - Small subset of results that are related in a particular way- Results that are PowerPoint documents appear in a result block when the work “presentation” is one of the search terms.- Administrators and site owners can also create result blocks to group other results- Like individual search results, you can promote result blocks or rank them with other results
- Advanced content processingNot available to SharePoint Online customers. To improve SharePoint Server 2013 search relevance, the document parsing functionality in the content processing component analyzes both the structure and content of documents. Documents parsers extract useful metadata and remove redundant information. For example, parsers extract heading and subheadings from Word documents, and titles, dates, and authors from slides in PowerPoint presentations. For HTML content, redundant generic information such as menus, headers, and footers are removed from document summaries in the search results.

The Content Search Web Part is a SharePoint Server 2013 feature that displays content that was crawled and added to an organization’s search index. It is a very powerful and versatile Web Part, especially when it is used in combination with managed navigation and category pages. The Content Search Web Part allows you to select a result source. This makes it very easy to specify which content should be searched. You can also use Keyword Query Language to add more filters and search terms to the query in this Web Part. Learn more about Content Search Web Part.Continuous crawlNot available to SharePoint Online customers. Configure crawl schedules for SharePoint Server 2013 content sources so that crawls are performed continuously. This option eliminates the need to schedule incremental crawls and automatically starts crawls as necessary to keep the search index fresh. Learn more about managing continuous crawl.Custom entity extractionNot available to SharePoint Online customers. SharePoint Server 2013 administrators can create and deploy custom entity extraction dictionaries to configure the search system to look for specific words or phrases (entities) in unstructured content. The extracted entities are stored in separate managed properties, and you can use them to improve your organization’s search experience, for example by creating refiners. Learn more about creating and deploying custom entity extractors.Extensible content processingNot available to SharePoint Online customers. Developers can call out to an external content enrichment web service to change the managed properties of crawled items before they are indexed. The ability to change managed properties for items during content processing is helpful for tasks such as data cleansing, entity extraction, classification, and tagging. Learn more about custom content processing.RefinersNot available to SharePoint Online customers. Refiners categorize the top documents in SharePoint Server 2013 search results into groups that lets users filter the search results. Learn more about the Refinement Web Part.
