OCR pdf search in SharePoint 2013

Is it possible to search OCR pdf in SharePoint 2013? After July 2014 CU it is possible to configure custom ifilters to override existing behaviour.Has anyone implemented OCR search?

Hi,
PDF is finally recognized as a file type within SharePoint and Microsoft added their own “PDF Format Handler” so that PDFs can be automatically indexed without requiring
a third party iFilter.
If the PDF's are images, These files cannot be searched unless they are processed with OCR and have a fully searchable equivalent generated. The third party iFilter
is able to apply the necessary OCR processing to ensure that the file will be searchable.
Here is an article for your reference:

Disable IRM for PDF files in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
Do anyone know how to disable PDF protection in SharePoint 2013. Earlier version they did not have it OOTB, so users were using same library to upload office documents and pdf as well expecting that only office docs are protected. But now PDF protection
is enable by default.
Please let me know if anyone know how to disable IRM from PDF docs only and keeping other Office docs protected as it.
Thanks,

I had the same issue, as my customer was not prepared to implement IRM on PDF documents, and there seems to be only a third-party solution PDF viewer which supports AD RMS. I was surprised to find this enabled by default, but it can be removed. Delete
the key below from the registry, and then run 'iisreset' from an elevated command prompt.

Issues opening Acrobat pdf's in SharePoint 2013

In SharePoint 2007, once I checked a pdf out and clicked on it, the pdf opened in Acrobat and I could edit it as necessary.
However, I am having an issue opening pdf's in SharePoint 2013. When I check the pdf out and click on open, the pdf opens in Word Web app. How can I get SharePoint to open the pdf in Adobe? I have researched and looked at all of the settings I could and haven't found anything.

Yes, it is possible.
About Philip point. Once installed, office documents will be opened in web apps by default - you can change it by activating site collection feature called "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default". After this setup, users will opens office document
in their client applications as they've been used to before, but they will have additional option to open office documents right in their browsers (through web apps) through item context menu.

Using search in sharepoint 2013 ?

Using search in sharepoint 2013 ?

Hi,
The performance of SharePoint is directly linked to SQL Server. The search service has to process queries, most of which are handled by the cache, but some queries are passed on to the database servers, increasing the load as well.
If load on the database servers becomes too great, disk queue lengths will increase, which in turn increases the latency of all other requests.
So the search service will have an effect on SharePoint performance.
Here are articles about how to improve SharePoint performance, you can use as a reference:

Federation search in sharepoint 2013

I am having issue getting proper results with bing search in sharepoint 2013. The search link which i am using is :
--http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms}&format=rss&Market=en-Us Credentials--
I am passing the searchterms from the code :
KeywordQuerykeywordQuery =
newKeywordQuery(clientContext);
keywordQuery.QueryText = "tender or road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/";
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
the above code is not returning proper results. When i checked the log files the search is happening in the following way
--bing.com/search?q=((tender+AND+or+AND+road)+AND+)&format=rss&Market=en-us--
the query text which i am passing from the code is getting converted from :
"tender or road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/"
to
(tender+AND+or+AND+road)+AND+
i am new to search and i dont know how the querttext got changed. If any one has any ideas on how to fix the issue please let me know.

Wildcard search in SharePoint 2013.

Hi ,
I have SharePoint 2013 farm, which is migrated from 2010 to 2013. After migrating to SharePoint 2013, wild card search is not working. Could someone please help me in activating wildcard search for already configured search service application in SharePoint
2013.
Thanks,
Badri.
Badri

Hi
I am trying to do a partial search without using wildcard by setting the query text of the search result source to {searchTerm}*. The search works and gives me the right results. However,
the results look differently.
When I do search for abcd*, the words that are started with abcd in the Title, Summary and Path parts are highlighted.
And when I do search for abcd, I have exactly the same search results back. but the words are not highlighted. and besides that, the Summary text is different.
I believe even if I had the right search result items back, the Title, Summary, and Path properties are created based on the searchEntry. Is there any way to make the items look exactly the same without manipulating with the searchEntry value?
Thank you,
Tatiana

Generate PDF file in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have a requirement to create .pdf file while one item is submitted to list/library in SharePoint 2013.
It means when employee inputs his/her data and after submit one pdf file will generated with the summary/relevant data.
Can any one help me to figure out this scenario.
Is it possible with SharePoint out of box feature?
Please help if any solution.
Thank You

you can not achieve this out of box, custom development with integration of 3rd party controls is required to generate pdf files. There are paid components available but i will suggest you to use iTextSharp which is a free open source library to generate
pdf files.
You can refer below link to generate pdf on basis of your requirement.

Hi,
Here's an advanced post which makes them interactive as well, http://almondlabs.com/blog/adding-interactive-ratings-to-sharepoint-2013-search-results-part-1/.
The crux is to add the AverageRating property to your display template, and then render data based on the value.

Cmis content search in sharepoint 2013

For content search using cmis to work with SharePoint 2013, does it require some service to be enabled ?Issue is :while executing the query " SELECT * FROM cmis:document where contains ('Test') " , this returns empty result; whereas
it should have returned some matching documents which I have added. The same query with out the 'where' clause returns all the documents. I tried apache chemistry client libraries ( webservice ).

Thanks for the reply. I tried the federated search. Configuring the results source works fine and gives me search results in the query builder. However i am getting the following error in the search results web part.

Advanced Search in Sharepoint 2013 Foundation

All,
I am looking for an advanced search like search based on certain properties in Sharepoint Foundation 2013.
Is it feasible or any other way I can achieve it?
Thanks,
Saumil

Hi Saumil,
Per my knowledge, the Advanced Search Box web part is no long used in SharePoint 2013.
So if you want to use the web part, you can export and import the Advanced Search box web part to SharePoint 2013.
However, only the web parts which have been upgraded to SharePoint 2013 at the same patch level can be used in your environment.
So you can upgrade a site with a page has Advanced search box web part in it to SharePoint 2013 and then export that web part to your site.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:
