  11. Customizing Search Experience

  12. Customize search to meet your business needs • Search in the language of your business • Deliver results that are contextually relevant • Tune relevancy to meet diverse needs • Process content with advanced linguistics • Customize the user experience to build engaging applications

  13. Search in the language of your business • Automatically generate metadata from your content • Entity extraction with the FAST Content Processing Pipeline • Metadata is the key to findability • Leverage corporate knowledge assets to determine metadata to extract • Corporate taxonomies, Business terminology, Product names, Acronyms … • Incorporate your language in the search experience • Users can quickly refine content using familiar terms • Build confidence that you found the correct answers the first time • Any term can be extracted and converted to metadata

  14. Map metadata to Managed Properties Managed Properties • Map one or more Crawled Properties to a single field. Enables sorting, refinement, relevance tuning and fielded searching.

  15. What can I do with a Managed Property? • Enables deep refinement • Makes search conversational, guiding users to navigate and refine, while summarizing the results that are found • Enables precision relevancy • Managed properties are also used for relevancy tuning & ranking, multi-level sorting, advanced (or fielded) search

  16. How does it work? • Create a custom entity extractor • Put your terms in the out of the box extraction dictionaries by modifying an XML file • Map the crawled property to a managed property • Index your content • Modify refinement panel web part • Add refiners to user interface • Built on a SharePoint List or custom extractor • Edit the Search Center Results Page • Modify the shared web part by adding tags to the refinement panel XML • Create your own labels • Save and Publish

  17. Deliver results that are contextually relevant Role-specific relevance Targeted Best Bets / Visual Best Bets Business driven refinement ”What should I know about selling ERP?” - Alan Brewer, Sales Lead ”What should I know about implementing ERP?” - Renee Lo, Consultant

  18. Quickly build a contextual experience User based tools for creating results that are relevant to your users • Create new keywords • Site Administrators have powerful and simple tools to configure the search experience for groups of users • Create new user contexts • Site administrators create contexts based on user profiles to deliver relevant results to the right audiences • Pick the right ingredients • Match the proper terms and contexts to boost relevancy for targeted users to ensure your users are always finding the right content • One-way synonyms • Keywords map to other terms • Two-way synonyms • Keywords become equivalent to other terms • Best Bets • Highlights key resources that are always relevant to a keyword • Visual Best Bets • Extend Best Bets with pictures, video, Silverlight controls • Document Promotion / Demotion • Tailor specific document relevancy

  19. Rank Profiles Out of the box relevancy Tuned for great general productivity experience, relevancy improves with click-throughs and link text analysis. Extend the default algorithms Create new default relevancy models. Blend static and dynamic ranking parameters to instantly improve search results.

  20. Process content with advanced linguistics Automatic and detailed analysis creates a great search experience FAST Content Processing Pipeline Format Conversion, Language Encoding and Detection, Tokenization, Lemmatization, Entity Extraction, Date and Time Normalization, Document Vector, Web Link Analysis, Map Crawled Properties • Breaks down content to the smallest addressable chunks to build meaning • Understands file encoding, data formats, and written languages • Supports 400+ file formats, 80+ languages

  21. Extending Pipeline capabilities Safely add additional analysis and processing • XML Properties mapper • Offensive Content Filter • Pipeline Extensibility • Calls external applications for custom item processing • Field Collapsing • Add Custom Processing • Content classification, Geo-tagging, Machine translation, Sentiment Analysis What is Custom Processing? Pipeline Extensibility is a specially defined stage that takes a set of crawled properties, as flat text as input and maps output to another crawled property • Custom Processing is Safe • Executable arguments and temporary files automatically handled in sandbox with timeouts. Runs before Crawled Property mapping stage, making new metadata accessible in SharePoint

  22. Customize the user experience • Create custom interactive Web Parts • Primary search results Web Parts are extendable • Change the default query and result rendering behavior • All Web Parts communicate through the federation object model • Use Federation Object Model to: • Search multiple data sources simultaneously • SharePoint Search • FAST Search for SharePoint • Open Search (both synchronous and asynchronous) • Build customized locations • Connect to new data sources (e.g., Exchange) • Combine results from multiple locations

  23. Robust query language Use FAST Query Language (FQL) for precise query development • FQL provides a robust and expressive query language • Wildcard support - *, ? • Numeric Data types (Integer, Float, Decimal, Datetime) • Operators • Direct field access (e.g., title:othello, author:shakespeare) • Numeric (COUNT, RANGE, <, <=, >, >=) • Boolean (AND, OR, ANY, NOT) • Rank (RANK, XRANK) • Proximity (NEAR, ONEAR) • String (operator support for strings) • Boundary (starts-with, ends-with, equals) • Filter
