When it comes to SharePoint search, managed properties have always had a special place in my heart.  After all they are what lets you do all of the cool stuff in SharePoint search when it comes to querying, refining, and displaying information. ...
One less publicized change in the April 2013 CU for SharePoint 2013 is the ability to change the maximum number of characters indexed of a given file.  By default, SharePoint indexes 512 KB of the body of a document.  Anything after that isn...
Result Sources in SharePoint 2013 are quite powerful.  However to make use of them in your queries, you have to know the Id which you pass to the SourceId parameter of a query.  For out-of-the-box result sources, the Ids are static.  When...
I’ve had yet another fun week up here in Canada.  I gave a brand new talk about the new ways to query search in SharePoint 2013.  I had a room full of developers that asked a lot of great questions.  As promised, my slide deck is below...
As a developer, if you have ever looked for information on how to query search in SharePoint, there is a good chance that you have ran into one of my articles.  I’ve been writing about how to query search in a variety of different ways since 2007...

By now you may have noticed that Search has changed quite a bit in SharePoint 2013. The ResultScriptWebPart powers most of the magic behind the Search Center.  It replaces the CoreResultsWebPart that we have been using since SharePoint 2007. ...
Every organization wants better search results.  However, few have actually spent the time to create file plans, content types, and managed properties to make it happen.  SharePoint 2013 has a feature called entity extraction though that can...
Although the new Result Source feature in SharePoint 2013 is really cool, writing queries against them is not.  With scopes you could specify them by name (i.e.: All Sites or People).  However with result sources, you must specify the id not...
Looking back at my analytics, I found that my People Search in SharePoint 2010 was quite popular.  I thought I would update that post for SharePoint 2013.  The process is similar but there are a few things to be aware of.  People Search...
Sorting search results has always been an interesting subject in SharePoint.  It was actually harder to do than you would think.  In SharePoint 2007, all you had was relevance and modified date (write).  The KeywordQuery class did not have...
Over the past few versions of SharePoint, I have provided a number of blog posts on how to query search.  Of those, my posts on how to use the KeywordQuery class using KQL are some of the most popular ( 2010 and 2007 ).  In continuing that tradition...
