Session Title:
Search Driven Design Patterns for SharePoint 2013

Abstract:
First, we will discuss SharePoint portal design flaws, related deficiencies, and challenges that exist with SharePoint in the enterprise.  We will discuss the Search platform and redefine what it means to us and how we leverage it.  We will take a tour of a Search Driven portal and review the configuration of Managed Properties, Result Sources, Query Rules, Search Results Web Parts, Display Templates, Search Boxes, and Search Pages.  Next, we will construct Search Driven components using creative techniques and reflect on the benefits of the overall approach that we followed, comparing and contrasting with other design patterns.  Finally, we will take a step back and discuss the future of Search and how to align SharePoint Search with the overarching Enterprise Architecture strategy.

This session provides practical guidance and best practices for SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2010 portal design, content management design, and search configuration based on real world lessons learned.  The demonstrations and technical deep dives showcase Search Driven Design Patterns in motion while providing instructions for how to build a Search Driven portal.
