SharePoint 2013

I am trying something new for me: This will be a huge picture post. Today we have a bridge day in Germany and that means most of my colleagues and clients are taking the day off. Ideal time for me to replace my SharePoint installation and bring it to a new level. Why did I upgrade? Well, lets say I have a fable to try everything new out before customers asks me some questions about it – and I kinda like shiney new stuff.

Improve the value of search results by managing Relevance. SharePoint 2013 and O365 provide a comprehensive set of tools to manage Search Relevance. SharePoint 2013 and O365 combine and improve upon the best tools available for Fast Search and SharePoint 2010, and introduce the notion of Query Rules that allow administrators to influence relevance for a single query or sets of queries using a straightforward user interface. In this talk, we will explain how ranking works under the hood, and give hands on demonstrations of how to use query rules, result sources, XRANK, federation to external search providers, and use the rank tuning tool to improve relevance and the value of your search solutions.
