The document provides an overview of SharePoint 2013's enterprise search capabilities, including keyword query language and server/client-side search development. It discusses the features of SharePoint search such as managed properties, result sources, and the use of REST APIs for querying. The conference event, held in Zagreb on November 27-28, 2013, aimed to educate attendees on customizing and enhancing SharePoint search functionalities.
![Search REST APIs
• [site]/_api/[name of SP API]/[name of operation]?[parameters]
• http://intranet/_api/search/query?querytext='invoice'
Operation
Sample REST URL
Use a search Result
Source (i.e. a scope)
/_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF981EF-EDFAB16C4E31'
Specify a start row
(i.e. in paging)
Specify a number of
results to return
Specify particular
(managed) properties
to return
/_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&startrow=11
/_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&startrow=11&rowlimit=10
/_api/search/query?querytext='search
term'&selectproperties='Author,Path,Title,Url'](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/darkomilevskisharepointsearchbasedsolutions-131127090230-phpapp01/85/Developing-Search-driven-application-in-SharePoint-2013-20-320.jpg)

- 1. SharePoint 2013 Search Based Solutions Many MILEVSKI, NEXTSENSE ways to query SharePoint Search DARKO SHAREPOINT AND PROJECT CONFERENCE ADRIATICS 2013 ZAGREB, NOVEMBER 27-28 2013
- 2. sponsors
- 4. Agenda • SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Search Overview • Keyword Query Language Overview • Developing Server Side Search • Managed Server Side Object Model • Demo • Developing Client Side Search • • • • • • Managed Client Side Object Model Demo JavaScript Client Side Object Model Demo REST APIs Demo
- 5. What about search? • Are you using Bing or Google? • If you are a Dev, how many times have you tried to develop without using a search engine? • Was it good experience? • Are using Search in SharePoint? • Did you know that you can customize and develop over the SharePoint Search? • Do you know about rich Search functionalities like Managed Properties, Result Sources, Query Rules, Keyword Query Language, etc., ….
- 6. SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Search • Search in 2010 + FAST Search Server • Single Search • Server vs. Foundation • No more Express edition • Deprecated Features • SQL Full-Text Query syntax -> Keyword Query Language • Search Scopes -> Result Sources • Search Schema • Managed Properties
- 7. Search Schema • Query data according to their metadata • Crawled and Managed Properties • OOTB Managed Properties • Author, Write (Modified Date), Path, FileSize, FileExtension, and more • Create your own managed properties • • • • • Maps to your own site columns Crawled properties created automatically with owa_ prefix Managed at Search Schema at SA or Site Collection Map Managed property with one or more Crawled properties Recrawl after mapping properties
- 8. Result Sources • Replaces scopes (now deprecated) • Narrowing results • One very good explanation what are Result Sources “imagine that your search index is the cube in the image on the slide, where you have four result sources: • Result source 1: search results can come from the entire cube. • Result source 2: search results can come only from the Bs. • Result source 3: search results can come only from the Cs. • Result source 4: search results can come only from the Ds. • Query Transformation • {searchTerms} path:http://intranet/sales
- 9. Keyword Query Language (1) • A KQL query consists of one or more of the following elements: • Free text-keywords—words or phrases • Property restrictions • Free text keywords • • • • Word Phrase Operators and wildcard Ex: conference / adria* / … • Property restrictions • <Property Name><Property Operator><Property Value>
- 10. Keyword Query Language (2) • Use wildcard operator (*) to find more results • i.e.: account* finds account, accounts, accountant, and accounting • Use >, >=, <, <= operators to query results by date • i.e.: Write>=“1/1/2013” • Query by managed property like author or title: • • • • • i.e.: Author:”Ian Peterson” i.e.: Title:”Europe 2014” i.e.: author:Shakesp* i.e.: title:"Advanced Search“ i.e.: title:"Advanced Sear*“ - wildcard operator (*) in the query, and it is supported only at the end of the phrase • i.e.: author:"John Smith" author:"Jane Smith“ = author:"John Smith" OR author:"Jane Smith“ • i.e.: author:"John Smith" filetype:docx = author:"John Smith“ AND filetype:docx
- 12. Developing SharePoint 2013 Search solutions • Server Side or Client Side query execution • Scenarios in Demos: Searching Invoices • • • • • Narrow invoices by Result Source that search for certain Content Type Search by term or property restriction Async query execution Select Properties and Sorting Results limit and Paging
- 13. Server Side Managed OM Querying • Executed directly on the server • Used for full trust code • Use KeywordQuery class with SearchExecutor class • Use KQL for query text • Iterate ResultsTable of type RelevantResults
- 15. Managed Client Side Object Model (CSOM) • SharePoint Managed Client Side Object Model classes • Very similar classes and code like server side managed object model • Familiar programming from CSOM back in SP2010 • Use ExecuteQuery • Select Properties • Selecting Custom Managed Properties • Sort List
- 16. MANAGED CLIENT-SIDE OBJECT MODEL SEARCH
- 17. JavaScript CSOM Search • JavaScript in SharePoint 2013 is derived from the .NET server programming model, and the programming capabilities defined here reflect those found in the original .NET server source. • Reference .js files • <script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js"></script> • <script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.js"></script> • <script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.search.js"></script> • Use ExecuteQueryAsync(OnSucess,OnFail) • Using Result Source • Query Only Documents of certain Content Type • Sorting • Search Paging
- 18. CLIENT-SIDE SEARCH FROM JAVASCRIPT
- 19. SharePoint 2013 REST APIs • SharePoint 2013 adds the ability to remotely interact with SharePoint sites by using REST • Construct a RESTful HTTP request, using the Open Data Protocol (OData) standard • Response is either Atom or JSON
- 20. Search REST APIs • [site]/_api/[name of SP API]/[name of operation]?[parameters] • http://intranet/_api/search/query?querytext='invoice' Operation Sample REST URL Use a search Result Source (i.e. a scope) /_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF981EF-EDFAB16C4E31' Specify a start row (i.e. in paging) Specify a number of results to return Specify particular (managed) properties to return /_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&startrow=11 /_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&startrow=11&rowlimit=10 /_api/search/query?querytext='search term'&selectproperties='Author,Path,Title,Url'
- 21. REST search calls • Create HttpWebRequest • Await for HttpWebResponse and the Load ResponseSretam • Result parsing • OAuth authentication for remote apps
- 22. REST
- 23. Why to use Search in solutions • Site Collections consolidation • Security Trimming (Custom Security Trimming) • Fast query results • High Availability and Load Balancing Pros Cons • • • • • • Time from data entry till crawl • Additional space on disk Search Features Programmability possibilities Fast results Use refiners Querying Index on disk, not in SQL
