This is an english translation of my article for SharePoint Advent “VON A BIS Z: ERSTELLUNG EINES DISPLAY TEMPLATES FÜR DIE SHAREPOINT SUCHE UM DIE EIGENSCHAFTEN EINES DOKUMENTS SICHTBAR ZU MACHEN”. Display Templates can be used in Web Parts to individualize search results (see also Introduction to Display Templates on MSDN). In this article I will show you how a Display Template for SharePoint 2013 Search is structured, why you need them and how to customize/extend them.
Search
Recently we had some strange search issues in our very own intranet and its time to blog about some SharePoint 2013 Search Troubleshooting. At first I noticed that our Search results were quite old, usually that is not the case because we enabled continuous crawling and I was surprised that it worked that well. How I noticed? I have tiny app that utilized search and supports our core business process: billing.
In this article I will show you how to create SharePoint 2010/2013 Search Content Sources with a handy powershell script and why you should care. This is my 100th blog post and therefore it has to be something with SharePoint Search - something good. I had the idea for the script on my mind for quite a while now, but there was no project and no time to create it - until now.
