The User
COOL! So the menu is on the right?
How do I create a Site now?
hmmm...

The IT Pro
So let me get this straight
You want:
•More Rams
•More Servers
•More Power
•More Disk Space
And you’re removing
options for me from the
Interface and telling me to
use PowerShell Command
Lines?

The Developer

Looking at the Infrastructure
No more User Proﬁle Sync problems!

New Problems
The Distributed Cache Service
Easy as a single server
Difficult when redundancy is required

(but with redundancy, that would mean 2 - ouch)

even cooler! Document Previews right from your

Discover your Content

Problems we’ve faced
•Hard if not impossible to see content from other
lists/libraries on other Sites
•Even worst for another Site Collection
•XSLT!
•Change the way results
are shown
•Contextual Results
•Having to ask Admins for
every little thing..queries
•And much more...

Search in SharePoint
2013 changes
EVERYTHING

What’s new with Search
SharePoint Search + FAST
•“Continuous Crawl”
•Result Sources
•Result Types
•Query Rules
•Content Search WebPart
•Search WebParts upgraded
•Search Center upgraded
•No more XSLT needed for results
•Query Suggestions “autocomplete”
•New Architecture
•Includes a Documentum Connector
•Indexing in HTTP supports anonymous crawl

How it works
Crawl Component gets
the content but does not
parse it.
Content Processing
Component parses
content and sends to
Index Component

Continuous Crawl
•Only works on SharePoint Content Sources
•By default every 15min
•Set-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource
•Once indexed, content appears almost right
away...like magic
•Lots of added pressure on the Server

Continuous Crawl - UI Configuration

Power to the Site Collection Administrators!

Search Schema
Managed Metadata managed at the Site
Collection Level

Result Sources
No more Search Scopes (Except if you upgrade
from SharePoint 2010)
Result Sources
also replace
Federated Search

Result Types
Define conditions to identify certain result types
and associate actions to them
Usually used to change the display of these
result types within the Search Results

Query Rules
Remember Best
Bets?
Promoted Results?

Query Suggestions
Managed at the Farm Level from Central
Administration
Can be exported and manipulated, otherwise
will grow with time

Content Search
Essentially 2 thing
1. Query
2. Display

Display Templates

Display Templates
•Found in “~sitecollection/_catalogs/
masterpage/Display Templates/”
•HTML & Javascript; No XSLT! (woohoo)
•HTML file with associated JS file

Do Not Touch!
DO NOT
TOUCH
THE JS FILE

Display Templates Categories
3 Major Display Template
Categories
Very similar to the use of
Styles in the Content Query
WebPart

Control
The First one loaded,
best one to reference
your CSS, JS or other
custom files.
Is the overall container
for the Display

Item
Changes the way
individual items look
like in the results

Search Driven Content
Pre-Configured Content Search WebParts are
available

Licensing
Only available in the Enterprise version...

Alternative
Search Results WebPart
Step-by-Step

Hmmmm
What if...
What if our entire
page was 1
search result with
a “page” display
template.

Branding

Branding before SharePoint 2013

What’s the problem with this Picture?

HTML of SharePoint 2013
Now in HTML5 with other changes
No more HTML Tables... SharePoint 2013 uses
<div> like everyone else!

Work without SharePoint Designer

Magic!
Convert an HTML page to a MASTER PAGE
Step-by-Step Convert HTML to Master Page

After converting, Code Snippets

Device Channels
Does not replace
“CSS Media Queries”
Works by specifying a
User Agent String and
loads a different
Master Page

Design Package
•Creates a WSP for
you
•No Visual Studio
Required
Not even close to
being perfect

Composed Looks

Web Content Management

Product Catalog
A Site Collection template where lists/libraries
meant to be reused like “Catalogs” should be
stored. Then consumed by Publishing Sites.

Cross-Site Publishing

Managed Metadata Navigation
Use your Terms to create a navigation
Finally some FRIENDLY urls

Workflows
in SharePoint 2013

New Service
Requires the installation of “Workflow Manager”
Better Visio integration (Import/Export)
New Actions:
- Start another Workflow
- Call an HTTP Web Service
- Count
- Wait for an event on a list item

Migration
to SharePoint 2013

2010 available in 2013
During the SharePoint 2013 installation, it also
installs SharePoint 2010 binary files
We can create Site Collections in 2010 mode,
which uses the real SharePoint 2010 files
