How to make SharePoint 2013 search only in document content?

We are using SharePoint 2013 environment and are facing following issue while doing search in the document library.
 There is  one document library named “MYDOC” .and it has two columns name ‘DocTitle’ and ‘DocTag’.. Although we are able to perform search on basis of document metadata and content, however we only want to search through the content of documents
in the library and not on the basis of document metadata (like ‘DocTitle’ or ‘DocTag’ columns). Is there a way to restrict search to document content only and not metadata?
Excluding the column name will not help since, if the searched keyword is exists in metadata as well then that item of library will not come in result. Is there any way of writing query in such a way that only document content will get queried?
-Aditya

Addition to the above,
Show or hide content from lists or libraries in search results
As a site owner, you can decide whether items in lists and libraries on your site are included in search results. By default every list and library is set to include all items in search results.
 Note    To change this setting, you must have the Manage Lists permission level. The Designer and “Site Name” Owner groups contain this permission level. When you do not have Manage Lists permissions, the menus
described in this procedure are not available.
Navigate to the site that contains the list or library that you want to change.
Locate and click the list or library you want to customize.
Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
Under Site Administration, click Site Libraries and lists.
Click an item from the list, for example, Customize “Shared Documents.”
On the List Settings page, under General Settings, click
Advanced settings.
In the Search section, under Allow items from this document library to appear in search results, select
Yes to include all of the items in the list or library in search result or
No to exclude all items from search results.

    All of the methods for licensing are marked internal, so without reflection you wouldn't be able to set the license via PowerShell.

  • How to make Outlook 2013 calendar only show specific hours and hide the others that are grayed out

    I’d like to show 7am to 10pm thus allowing the rest of the day to be less cramped vertically on my screen.  I don't want to see all the grayed out hours which are
    outside of business hours.  How can I do this?

    Right click on the time scale and choose the next smaller scale. It may not help much since 7 -10 is a fairly long period, although with 30 min and the ribbon minimized, i see 7a - 11p on a 24" monitor. You may need to set 7 as the start of your business
    day. If you have it set later in options, outlook will start the day at the later time.

  • Bypass content-based format detection so I can use a custom iFilter in Sharepoint 2013 Search

    Can I get SharePoint 2013 Search to bypass the content-based format detection and use the file extension to determine the format (and therefore the format handler so that I can use a customer iFilter)?
    We have a proprietary file format which uses xml, and we use a specific filename extension to indicate the type of file.  We have a custom iFilter to parse the file, because we only want some of the content to be indexed.  The iFilter works with
    Windows Search.  I’m now trying to use our custom iFilter to search the same files with SharePoint 2013.  SharePoint 2013 Search appears to determine a file’s format from its content and not from its file extension (I have confirmed this by changing
    the extensions of .docx and .txt files).  SharePoint 2013 search appears to use the built-in XML format handler to index our proprietary files.  Can I get SharePoint 2013 Search to bypass the content-based format detection and use the file extension
    to determine the format (and therefore the format handler)?  I think SharePoint 2010 may allow this, but I can’t find out if/how it is done in SharePoint 2013.
    I understand that built-in format handlers can’t be replaced by custom iFilters, but I don’t want to replace the XML format handler for .xml files.  

    Hi jeh271,
    quite interesting, because as i know iPersistStream should be installed when you need to use ifilter when using windows search.
    just curious, if you also restart the spsearchhostcontroller?
    as i know the search should have the content-based format,we cant bypass it, if we bypass it, then it may broke.
    i saw some thread about this before:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/944e6878-a7f0-4c0e-98b7-a7fb9faeef1b/bcs-connector-and-mimetypefield
    ifilter example:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh694268(v=office.14).aspx
    last time i did this, seems similar issue:
    • The custom iFilter is working in SP 2010 but when we followed the same process of registering the iFilter in SP 2013, it was not working.
    • So, we knew that we were some missing some extra step in registering the filter in SP 2013.
    • Finally, we involved the Product group and we found out that we need to run an extra PowerShell commandlet apart from following the steps to register it in SP 2010 (given in this link:- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh694268(v=office.14).aspx )
    • We ran the commandlet described here in this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219556.aspx.
    • The New-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat cmdlet adds a new file format and a corresponding file name extension to the search parsing system. This binds the file format to a filter-based format handler in the search parsing system. Thus, the search parsing system can only parse the new file format if the user has installed a corresponding filter-based format handler, an IFilter, for the new file format. If the installed IFilter registers more than one file name extension, the user must use the New-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat cmdlet to add a new file format to the parsing system for each of these file name extensions. The user must also ensure that the file name extension of the new file format is a member of the file-type inclusion list. The file-type inclusion list specifies which files that are crawled, based on their file name extensions. The system will only consider the new file format after a restart of the content processing components
    • The example for our scenario would be something like this:-
    New-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat -SearchApplication $ssa -FormatId dwg -FormatName DWGFiles -MimeType application/dwg
    • Then, we restarted the SharePoint Search Host controller service on the machine where you have installed the iFilter and this resolved our issue and we were able to successfully search with .dwg files using the custom iFilter.
    i am not quite sure if search treating your file as an XML file, if it is true, perhaps you can check this xmlmapper:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff795813(v=office.14).aspx

  • Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

    Hi,
    I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
       Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
    setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
             The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
    I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious: 
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
            The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration   
            component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
            e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
            try again.
    I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.  
    On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
    The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
    I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
           Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain   
           the schema version info.
           Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
    Details:
                (0x80040e09)
    Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
    I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
    Thanks.
    John.

    It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
    Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
    error in the Event Viewer:
    CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>) 
    The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
    again.
    I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
    Any ideas?
    John.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
    Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
    I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
    and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

    Hi cagman,
    Please make sure Search Host Controller Service, Search Query and Site Settings Service, SharePoint Server Search are started on manange services on server.
    Then check the Search service application, and make sure search application topology is ok.
    Then reset Index, and run a full crawl. After crawling, search again, compare the result.

  • Sharepoint 2013 search component best practice

    hi
    With a big SharePoint 2013 farm:
    2 WFE
    2 App server
    2 Search App server (havent set up these servers yet)
    What would the best way to divide the search componment between the two serarch app servers?
    Crawl component
    Crawls content sources to collect crawled properties and metadata from crawled items and sends this information to the content processing component.
    Content processing component
    Transforms the crawled items and sends them to the index component. This component also maps crawled properties to managed properties.
    Analytics processing component
    Carries out search analytics and usage analytics.
    Index component
    Receives the processed items from the content processing component and writes them to the search index. This component also handles incoming queries, retrieves information from the search index and sends back the
    result set to the query processing component.
    Query processing component
    Analyzes incoming queries. This helps optimize precision, recall and relevance. The queries are sent to the index component, which returns a set of search results for the query.
    Search administration component
    Runs the system processes for search, and adds and initializes new instances of search components.
    If you ignore the need for redunancy (we may add another 2 search app servers for that later).
    brgs
    Bjorn

    Hi Bjorn,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to deploy the search components in two search app servers.
    It depends on how many search service applications you need and the size of your environment.
    Here is a link about how to configure topology for one search service application with multiple search components across 2 servers for redundancy and performance:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/02/19/sharepoint-2013-configuring-search-service-application-and-topology-using-powershell.aspx
    You can also run the Query Processing component in web front server and run the other components in the search servers or application servers.
    Please refer to the link below:

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

    Hi
    I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
    I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
    Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
    Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
    When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can format the search results as you expected.  But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
    Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
    Please refer to the following articles.

    Hi kukdai,
    To use result source or query rule to distinguish search results, besides adding custom search vertical, you could also consider using result block:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2013/02/01/how-query-rules-and-result-sources-can-be-used-to-customize-search-results.aspx
    http://www.sharepoint2013.me/Blog/Post/261/SharePoint-2013---Create-and-display-results-blocks
    Quote:
    In SharePoint, result block will display the search results as a group. We can promote result block depending on the query condition as specific result. While configuring query conditions for results block, we can use query variables. We can specify query
    variables as place holders for unknown values in SharePoint query.
    Then we can use Path in query rule to divide search results into several web applications.
