  14. Display Templates • Display templates contain the following characteristics: • They define the visual layout of a Result Type • A template is really just HTML • You can edit it with ANY HTML designer you want • You add placeholders to your HTML file where managed properties should be emitted • A set of display templates is included OOB • /Master Pages/Display Templates/Search folder • Site collection admins can upload new display templates.

  16. Better Best Bets • Query Rules • Run on one or all Result Sources • Rules can be filter by User Segment • Rules are very flexible (Keywords, RegEx, etc.) • Results • Promoted Results (like 2010 Best Bets) • Result Blocks (think of it as running another query) • Change result ranking by changing the query • Query Rules can be GLOBAL!

  18. A few final thoughts… • Challenge: Can users get what they need from the Search Results? • Use Refiners… • …just say “No!” to the Advanced Search Page! • Hate XSL and SPD? Upgrade to 2013 and use Notepad++ • Consider promoting your best content
