Sharepoint 2013 bing search results

I have integrated bing search to my sharepoint 2013. Its returning results but i am facing two issues.
1) The bing search is always returning only 8 results
2) I want to get results for only particular website and i have used following query. But its always returning 8 results and first 3 results are website related and rest 5 results are not related to the site. If i use same query in bing site search
text box its returning results properly. Any idea why the sharepoint bing search is returning results differently?
query.QueryText =
"tender|road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/";
Thanks

Hi - Thank you for your reply. We dont have proxy server and i tried the steps mentioned in your blog now i am getting 10 results. Is there any setting i need to enable to get all the results or sharepoint restricts the results automatically? I
could have attached screen shot but its not allowing.
And my second question is how to restrict bing results to one website. The following query param restrics the search to Kenha when i search in bing directly. But when i search from sharepoint its returning mixed results.
"tender|road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/";
Thank you for help

Sharepoint 2013 custom search results grouping display template

Hi,
I am trying to implement custom grouping for search result items. I would like to group them by a managed property, but without using result blocks (query rules). The idea is to sort the results by the property and then compare the current item (ctx.CurrentItem)
with the previous item using ctx.CurrentItem.ParentTableReference. If a new property value is detected we insert a new 'group header' (just some simple html). The problem is the ParentTableReference is undefined. Shouldn't there be such a property in current
item object?
I'm implementing this in a custom search result item display template...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize search result items display template.
I suggest you get enumerate all properties of JavaScript context object and debug you code to watch the
ctx.CurrentItem object.

SharePoint 2013 custom search Result Type for "Documents" not showing up as option

I'm trying to create a custom search Result Type called "Documents" that will filter to MS Office filetypes and PDF's.
However, when I perform a search, although many of these types of files show up in the results, I don't have "Documents" as a Result Type option.
Here are the steps I'm following:
From my Enterprise Search Center subsite: Site Settings > Manage Result Types.
New Result Type.
Name: Documents
Source: Documents (System) - this out-of-the-box Result Source appears to cover the filetypes I need.
Types of content: I've tried leaving it blank (to match all content) and specifically picking the types I want.
What should these results look like? Office Document Item.
Check Optimize for frequent use.
Save.
I then go back to my search center and search for a common keyword. Many in-scope file show up in the search results. However, under Result Type, I don't see "Documents," even if I click "SHOW MORE."
Please advise.
Thanks.
Brad

@Mikael As you say, to display the exact results when we click a result source, we should implement logic code to check whether item should be displayed. I have followed steps nearly the same as the topic owner but I saw nothing different between Everything
and my custom Result Type.
Here are the steps I'm following:
Create a custom result type, named Job, and specify a custom display template for it.
Set its condition to filter list items that have JobName site column ( JobName is site column's managed property) equal of any "IT" or "Doctor".
I search for "Perter", it returns 5 items with Everything. I expect that it should return 3 items since only those items contain JobName site column.
Search is fun but rather headache sometimes, give me advise please :)
Thanks,
Hoan.

Sharepoint 2013 Server Search Not Working, URGENT!!

Hi thr,
im a current sharepoint 2013 server user and im facing a severe problem with sharepoint now, i cannot search using the search bar
And the Search Service Application keeps giving me this error, 'The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component in search application ‘Search Service Application’
is in a good state and try again. '
I have tried every possible way including creating new search service application, restarting the services , everything i had already tried but its still not working and keep giving me errors
Anyone can help me? its very urgent here, thanks

Can you check out the patch status of the servers? If you've got auto-update on the servers and something for SharePoint has been downloaded and installed, it might need to be configured still. Either the PS Config (as suggested below) or the Set-up wizard
will take care of this
Additionally, the TechNet Wiki has something that might help you out

Crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services

Dear Support,
please find below mention crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services.
8,597 The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network.
423 This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. You might also
want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.

3 The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly.
2 The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly. If the repository was temporarily unavailable, an incremental crawl will fix this error.
would request your support for resolving this type of issue

1. Are you able to browse the sites on SP server. server is unavailable means that application pool
of that site is down. Check application pool on all server. if you start any application pool. make sure it does not stop few minutes later. you need to update password if it does stop
2. Create a disable loopbackcheck of registry on all servers

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926642/en-us
3. Create a new search service application and check if you face same issue.
4. I assume you have change some password or other setting when you started facing this issue. what changes were made in environment

Cortana return Bing search result instead of "chit chat".

Issue: CORTANA did not do chit chat but instead returns Bing search results.
Examples: "Who's your daddy", "Sing a song", "Tell a joke"
Settings:

settings:
- language: English(United States)
- region: United States, English ( United States)
-speech: English (United States)
So you appear to be developing an app or you wouldn't have posted in this
Windows and Windows phone apps , Windows Phone Dev Center > Dev Center App forum.
I don't get the issue. You don't provide any code for your application or what your application is supposed to do with regard to
CORTANA. So why shouldn't CORTANA return BING search results rather than some kind of Chat thing?

Create document preview in sharepoint 2013 content search webpart slideshow

I want to show preview of documents(word,excel,ppt or videos) in the content search webpart slideshow view. By default we can show images from picture library in the content search webpart slide show view. But i need to show preview of documents(like search

Please help me to solve this issue!
Thanks in advance!

SharePoint 2013 multiple search boxes on a single page

How can I have multiple independent search boxes on a single SharePoint 2013 page? My scenario is this:
1. Search Box 1 is added to the master page
2. Search Box 2 is on a dedicated search page along with a search results web part.
Search Box 1 is the search box from the navigation section in the Snippets Gallery. It is the smaller SharePoint search box.
Search Box 2 is a search web part added to a web part zone on the page. It is also the large SharePoint search box.
When on the dedicated search page, and a search term is entered into search box 2, the search term is "entered" in both search boxes. The real issue, which totally breaks the experience, is that the same CSS is applied to both search boxes
on the page. So the smaller search box, search box 1, gets the CSS class ".ms-srch-sbLarge" dynamically applied to it. Additionally, we noticed that the divs wrapping the search boxes both get the ID of "SearchBox1". I
have added a before and after image to illustrate the problem.
5/9/2013 -
I have some more information to add to this issue. SearchBox2 is using a display template. The control_searchbox.js file associated with the display template correctly gets SearchBox2's control ID when the page is first rendered. However, when
a search term is entered in SearchBox2, rather than preserve the control ID it found on page load, control_searchbox.js parses the DOM for a TemplateType of "control" and a TargetControlType of "searchbox". It finds the first
one it comes to, which is the one in the master page and overwrites SearchBox1 with it's own markup, which is targeted for SearchBox2.
Microsoft - this would seem to be a bug in SharePoint. How can we get a fix for this?

So what you can also do is set the searchBoxScriptWebpart directly in the masterpage with pointer to a displaytemplate. This way you have more control. In the RenderTemplateId attribute you can point to the same displaytemplate or create your own copy with
customizations.
<SearchWC:SearchBoxScriptWebPart RenderTemplateId="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Control_SearchBox_Compact.js" ID="SearchBoxScriptWebPart1" DefaultDropdownNodeId="1001" UseSiteCollectionSettings="false" EmitStyleReference="false" ShowQuerySuggestions="true" ChromeType="None" UseSharedSettings="true" TryInplaceQuery="false" ServerInitialRender="false" runat="server" __WebPartId="{2243C4B0-F63F-4573-B39E-3A60BA773508}" />
This worked for me. :)
This eventually worked for me too.
I was referencing this webpart from my master page but experienced issues on the search results page as described above. When I set the RenderTemplateId property, it would work some of the time and other times I would get a display error from the webpart
in my master page.
I had to make sure that ServerInitialRender was set to
false. @adilbouhouch already has it set properly in the markup above. I missed it initially and just wanted to point it out in case anyone else gets the same issue.

Consuming 2013 people search results on a 2010 farm

Hi,
We currently have two 2010 farms A and B. Farm A contains all service applications as well as our Portal site collections. Farm B contains My Sites and uses the search service from farm A. This all works fine.
We want to upgrade to 2013 so we've built a new 2013 farm. We want to migrate My Sites from farm B and user profiles from farm A onto the new 2013 farm.
The problem is search. We want to leave the search service on 2010 farm A since all of the regular content is there, but then how can I federate people search results from the 2013 farm?
Another possibility might be to use the 2013 search service to crawl the 2010 farm A. If this is the best option how would I set this up?
Thanks.
- Ed.

Hi,
I recommend migrate the content from 2010 to 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263299(v=office.15).aspx This is your best option.
Here's where you'll upgrade the service application databases,

Make sure to start here though, just to dbl check the various steps of prepping for the database attach:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263026(v=office.15).aspx
In order to do either of the scenario's you mentioned, you'd have to create trust between the two farms, here is a great blog post about this topic and cross farm services in SharePoint 2010:

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Search and Document ID service

Hello,
as I understand search scopes are now deprected in SharePoint 2013 and I cannot add any new custom search scopes.
My problem is that on the document ID settings page, where I can choose the search scope, I can only see the deafult "All Sites" search scope.
Is there any way to add custom search scopes in SharePoint 2013, or make my default document ID provider use result sources insted of search scopes?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,
Document IDs help you manage your documents by providing an easy way to track items regardless of their location. Even if a document is moved to another site, renamed or copied, it retains its Document ID. You can use the Document ID to easily locate it.
Document ID’s are automatically assigned to uploaded documents and this ID will follow the item throughout its whole life cycle. Consequently, Document ID should be unique among all sites, so that it won’t duplicated when documents moved among sites.
Document ID Lookup Search Scope allows a specific search scope to be used to look up documents using their IDs. The default search scope is “All sites” as you see, it means if you search certain document id, you are searching it among all
sites. If you would like to custom search scope for it, I’d recommend you create custom result source for it in Search Service Application. Although it is workaround, it might be more flexible and easier to achieve.
Here are some good articles for build search result sources in SharePoint 2013 for your convenience:

SharePoint 2013 Foundation Search - Change the admin components to the new WFE server

Hi,
We tried to move the Search Service Application from one server to another server which was newly joined in the Farm.
In this case,the Search Service in my App server - which was working earlier also did not work. I tried almost all Powershell scripts to stop the service, and i could not make it.
Please let me know, how to stop the search service in both servers and to run only in the new server that i have joined.
Also, we need to move all Search Admin components to the new server, and from then Search Index should work only in the new server and not the old one.
Kindly let me know the possibility how can this be achieved.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Karthikanandh,
If you want to stop the Search service in both servers and only run in the new server, then you can stop the service in Central Administration in both the two servers and start the service in new server.
Please go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > change the server to the one that you need to stop the search service and then stop the search service.
To move the search admin component to another server, then you need to clone the active Search topology and move that component, and then then activate the topology and move the remaining components.

Bing search results can't be clicked for many searches.

I'm moving away from Google and am frustrated with either a bug in Firefox 13, or perhaps a plug in. I've looked at the HTML source for the Bing's search results and don't see any issues with their anchors. This doesn't happen on every search result, but the example included has been consistently not working.
Here's the sample URL
[http://www.bing.com/search?q=rewriterule+match+any+sequence+of+parameters&go=&qs=bs&form=QBRE http://www.bing.com/search?q=rewriterule+match+any+sequence+of+parameters&go=&qs=bs&form=QBRE]

I'm going to pass on that option, cor-el. I have too many settings, preferences, site info, etc to give that one a try. Anyway, here's an image illustrating the issue. I've selected the results and highlighted where the missing links are with red boxes. When the text isn't highlighted, it all appears correctly, but the boxed areas can't be clicked!

SharePoint 2010 - People Search Results - About Me Property

Hi,
Currently, we have About Me showing in our People Search Results page.
About Me is a User Profile Property that allows Users to specify information about themselves. This Profile Property is an HTML property and therefore may contain links/URLs. When About Me contains links/URLs, they appear as proper links in the User Profile.
However, in the People Search Results page, they just appear as plain text. We would like them to appear as actual links similar to the User Profile.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi Seth,
I do know it uses XSLT and have modified this XSLT before for Business requirements.
However, I'm not even sure if my question is something that can be fixed thru XSLT.
In XSLT, it is only 1 line that shows the About Me text:
<xsl:value-of select='substring(hithighlightedproperties/aboutme,1,350)' />
So I'm not sure if there's any way else to achieve what we want.

Office Outlook 2013 no search results

Installation:
Server 2008 R2 Terminal server
Office Outlook 2013
This is a new server install and happening the same for all 15 users on the server, Admin s and users.
I am unable to display any results when searching mail box. I modified and rebuild the index many times. I have un-selected and re selected files and
added pst files. I am able to start outlook in safe mode and search with no problem. Users are able to search programs and files in windows start menu.

Hi,
Did you installed any add-ins with your Outlook? Please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable all add-ins you have installed to check the result.
If the problem would be gone when you disable all add-ins, we can try to enable the add-ins one by one until we find the problematic add-ins.
