There is so much new and good content being created all the time around SharePoint and picking five to highlight is not easy. Keeping mostly with the search theme, I’ll highlight some which might have gone under the radar and who all have in common that they dig deeper into SharePoint features to either understand them better, or enable hidden ones.
1. Steve Curran’s post – “Understanding and Getting SharePoint 2013 Search Managed Properties to Work”. Steve’s an awesome developer, and this post gives some insight into the search schema in 2013 and how managed properties work.
2. If you’re writing Query Rules in SharePoint 2013, you have to know your variables. I accidentally stumbled upon this TechNet article and it’s been a life saver. Read Now >>
3. Until I read Vaidy’s post “How can I achieve the best freshness of search results? Introducing Continous Crawls for SharePoint” I had no idea what it really was at it wasn’t explained anywhere. Reading this article and communicating with the document team at Microsoft lead them to improve the wording on TechNet around continuous crawl –http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219802.aspx
5. This one is actually not search related, but Wictor Wilén’s post on how to enable PDF Previews for document libraries with Office Web Apps was something I enjoyed – especially since I managed to dupe his post with my own over a month after his one.
