Today’s leading organizations require a flexible and dynamic data management system to store, sync and share their in-house information. SharePoint continues to be the leading solution for companies optimizing their approach to data management and retrieval. With the 2013 version, Microsoft has enhanced the way in which users can search for and pinpoint information within their databases. It is now easier than ever to quickly and securely find pertinent data by utilizing the latest SharePoint 2013 Search functionality.
Here are the leading advantages of the SharePoint 2013 Search system.
Enhanced Search Relevance Through Improved Parsing
For SharePoint 2013, Microsoft has updated the software’s document parsing functionality within the content processing area. This means users working with SharePoint 2013 Search are now able to achieve more precise results for their search queries. The new document parsing removes redundant information, such as headers and footers from HTML documents and titles as well as dates in PowerPoint presentations, to provide searchers only the most relevant information for their query.
Enhanced Analytics to Improve Search Experience
The new SharePoint 2013 Search Analytics component provides site administrators with the ability to customize their users’ experiences and improve functionality. For example, site owners might add specific Web Parts to display recommendations that improve relevancy to searchers. Such Web Parts could be used to display deep links within sections of main sites that contain valuable information for the searcher. It’s a mechanism to streamline the search experience while helping website administrators provide the best available information to the searcher.
Continuous Crawling Assures Rapid Search Results
Often, SharePoint 2013 Search users are trying to find information that is changing quickly over time. In order to provide the best available data to the searcher, the software now features continuous crawl functionality. This maintains the freshness of search data as SharePoint content is crawled more frequently. This improved function ensures that data is crawled at pre-defined time intervals to maintain the relevancy and accuracy of data returned.
In-Place Hold Functionality Aids Compliance
Another improvement within the SharePoint 2013 search functionality is the software’s In-Place Hold capacity. This allows searchers to find information and then preserve data in its current state to fulfill compliance needs and meet other in-house requirements. One of the great advantages of this updated functionality is that users can still add to the preserved content while maintaining an original version. And any new data added to the on-hold content will be discoverable through the search function and even preserved if it is deleted from the system. This new function allows administrators to retain complete control over how site content is used and retained.
Maintain Control of Search Data While Preserving Search Performance
By maintaining the relevancy and freshness of search results, SharePoint 2013 is improving the way in which organizations utilize their in-house data. It is a high performance system designed to streamline document searches and reduce wasted working time. For companies with vast swaths of data to review, the additional search functionality built into SharePoint 2013 will help guide improved operational performance.
