DESCRIPTION
When people talk about search the first thing that comes to mind is Google or Bing. The problem with this is that Search can be a powerful tool to get information to users and create applications without requiring code. SharePoint 2013 Search makes this a lot easier for the end user, not a developer or admin, to be able to use search in their own systems, although developers and admins could benefit and use these options as well. We will cover the basics of search and how these can be used to drive the application. We will cover new abilities in SharePoint 2013 Search that will make this easy. This will all be portrayed in relation to a real life example that most businesses could use. We will be creating fully useable Bulletin Board in less than an hour. Come learn how you can use SharePoint 2013 search to create applications for your company with nothing more than a simple text editor and a browser.
