Common Challenges UNLOCK THE VALUE OF YOUR CONTENT THROUGH OPTIMIZED SEARCH RESULTS


Provides great enterprise search capabilities, but Everything means EVERYTHING! Look for ways to split up results into distinct

channels/pages Configure Promoted Links and Result Blocks for key

content Consider additional search centers for critical or LOB

sites

Common Search Challenges

16


Standard refiners are good, but what about properties unique to your content? Define meaningful refinement options based on your

content


17


Unique content with custom properties looks generic. Standard display templates are generic, create

customized ones that take advantage of your unique meta-data
