Join us for the March meeting of the Central Texas SharePoint User Group!
Advanced Search Configuration and Management
A core group Austin companies has established this User Group as a forum for SharePoint pros to share ideas and learnings about this hot technology. Similar groups in Dallas and Houston have seen rapid growth and tremendous popularity, and we want to make this important resource available locally.
The Central Texas SharePoint User Group’s objectives are to:
1. Build community around SharePoint and related technologies
2. Cross-pollinate information and ideas on SharePoint
3. Provide a forum for companies to share innovative programs and solutions based on and related to SharePoint
March 12th - Program Description:
Organizations intending to implement a search solution in SharePoint often approach this “technical problem” by asking “What do we need to index?”. While this approach may yield results they are usually less than optimal. The approach presented in this session begins with the user and drives to determine what the user needs and wants in their search experience. We will discuss:
- Search Center design and configuration
- Search Results XSLT to improve results rendering
- Customizations to enhance the SharePoint search experience
- BDC Integration to search structured data
