Preview in Search Results

Hi all,
when I get the Result List after a Search in TREX 6.1, I can see preview of the (I think) first lines which are included in the document - Does anybody know, if it's possible to change that, so that there will not be shown the first lines of the content of a document but the description of the Document?
Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
let me add a bit to Karsten's info, specifically:
change "rnd:documentabstract" to "rnd:description"
or "description"
"rnd:description" will show a truncated version of the
description, whereas "description" will show the
complete description.
It would also be possible to add the description without
replacing the abstract.
I would also strongly suggest copying the objects or
settings prior to changing them in case things get
messed up.
Regards,
Darin

Search Preview, Open Search Result, Authentication, Security Trimming Users - Domain

hi all
Good morning. I hope someone can direct me in the right path.
Server Setup 1 - SharePoint 2013 (using as search engine - fileserver)
SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Server Setup 2 - Office Web Apps 2013
Office Web Apps - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Issues that I am facing - Search preview
a. I have configure SP2013 as a search for my file server. I get all the searches but I cannot preview them. I have configured the Office Web Apps 2013 and can successfully see the XML file in various TechNet article's. No event errors. I have ran
various PowerShell commands, to see if SP connects with Office Web Apps and it connects. This is all Internal network and so I have used HTTP.
Issues that I am facing - Open Search Result
b. I have faced this when search a document, I tried to click on OPEN and nothing happens. The document doesn't open and no errors. However, if I send the document to a user, the path opens it directly.
Issues that I am facing - Authentication
c. I would like to provide our users the opportunity to search without entering username and password on a domain computer but required on a non-domain joined computers. Can this be done?
Issues that I am facing - Security Trimming - File Share
d. I have a file share with Access Based Enumeration enabled. Some users are given access and some others no access to view certain folders and files. Will this reflect the searches ?. I have set a READ-ONLY access account to the complete fileShare. Does
the searches appear to those who have access and doesn't appear to those who don't have.
I am willing to learn and so I ask some guidance where I have gone wrong with the setup.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Cheers
Jo

Hi Jo,
#1. Per my knowledge, the files in file share cannot be previewed with Office Web Apps in SharePoint search results.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fdc18024-1782-4acd-a498-70c53c1d2f64/office-web-apps-preview-of-fileshare-documents
If the documents in the site cannot be previewed, I recommend to use command
New-SPWOPIBinding to re-create the binding without Action parameter and then do a full crawl tosee how it works.
#2. Please check the URL of the file in your search results and then copy the URL in the browser to see if the document can be opened.
#3. I recommend to extend the web application to the internet zone and do not grant anonymous permission on the search results page in the internet zone. Then when the user wants to do search, then he will need to sign in to access the search results page.
#4. Yes, if the user has no access to the files, then he will not be able to search the documents in SharePoint and the documents will not appear in search results.
Best regards.
Thanks

Adding Description or Content Preview to Search Result Web Part

Hello,
I am on Sharepoint Online 2013 working on an enterprise wiki site. I've added a search result web part and configured a query to return the results I want. The
Results Control Display Template is set to Default and the
Result type for item is set to Sharepoint Wiki.
Is there a way to
1) Customize the item display template to add in a description value, or show the first 'x' number of characters from the content?
2) Customize the hover display to show only the body content (instead of complete page), or increase the zoom level where the content area is shown larger?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had images to attach but will have to attach them later as I cannot until my account is verified.

Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results...again

Hi,
I found a thread in this forum With an answere to a similiar question here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/28bc1e27-4a65-4c61-9b3e-cb9dad17f779/office-web-apps-preview-sharepoint-2010-documents-in-sharepoint-2013-search-results?forum=sharepointsearch&prof=required
...With the answere:
"OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013. It cannot use this when talking to 2010. In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
BUT...
may anyone give more information how to do this?
Links to articles? Links to description and samples?

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.

Snow Leopard version of Preview: Enable lines of text in the search results?

In Preview 4 on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and Preview 3 on OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, when a search of a PDF file was conducted, the search term would appear in context in the drawer on the side of the main Preview window. The multiple lines of text in the search results could then be quickly scanned visually.
In Preview 5 on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, the search result display options do not seem to include the lines of text found in Preview 4 and Preview 3. Is there a setting somewhere, maybe even performed via the command line in the Terminal application, that can enable Preview 5 to display such lines of text in the search results?

It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

How can I reduce the width between search results and the preview fly-out?

Hello, I am using a custom masterpage that reduces the overall width of page content but I am seeing an issue with my enterprise search site. The search results look fine but there is a large horizontal gap between the results and document preview window
(when mousing over a word/excel/powerpoint result). This means that the preview fly-out is hardly visible unless the user scrolls horizontally to the right. Can someone tell me how to set a reduced width between the results web part and the preview window?
Example:

I think the issue is with the Callout orientation, have you customized the page and if so then you can customize the callout.
check "beakOrientation" and you can set values like topBottom, leftRight as per your requirement.

Is Quick View (preview of file contents under search results) supported in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?

We recently deployed SharePoint 2013 Foundation but can't make Quick View (seeing the contents of a file when you hover the mouse cursor over it) work in the search results.
All Site Collection/Site Features are turned on. Not sure what else to do.
Does anyone have this feature working in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
Thank you!

Hi Charlie,
To view the Preview of the Search Results you need to Install/Configure Office Web Apps Server in your farm.

Why do search results in the iTunes store and the preview music window fail to load properly?

Since I updated to the second update to iTunes 11, I've had problems with searching in the iTunes store and viewing the previewed music window. It had worked fine in the first iTunes 11 update from iTunes 10 but it has not worked properly since the second update. I've also tried resetting the iTunes store cache but to no avail.
Screenshots here:
http://puu.sh/1E5yO - Search results in iTunes Store
http://puu.sh/1E5A3 - Preview Music History Window

See Apple Discussion link
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2332677?start=0&tstart=0
Essentially run iTunes as Administrater once and it should solve the problem going forward.
Go to /Program Files/iTunes and right click iTunes.exe and select run as admin
No need to do it every time, just once and than desktop shortcut icon will open iTunes with solved Store search display problem.

Bring Audio Preview to Artist/Album pages and search results!

Note: This idea references features from the new Discover tab which may not have reached all users yet! If you have any feedback about discover, please head over to this ideas topic.
Summary
One of the most useful features of the new discover tab is the ability to "Preview" recommendations.
I think this feature would be very useful if rolled out to other pages, such as Artist/Album pages, as well as search results so you can easily preview content without interrupting what you are already listening to. Music discovery for me goes far beyond what the Discover tab suggests!
Implementation
The behind the scenes work to make this happen might stretch further than I am imagining, although it the new web based pages such as discover and artist pages run on the same platform, how hard can it be to migrate a feature! :)
Good news for the Spotify UI team is implementing this would require only minor changes, since it can be easily worked into the already available elements, just like on Discover.
For anyone who does know, here is what audio preview looks like in Discover:
This could easily be added to other pages:
Artist Pages
Search Results
And with a minor change, a track preview button would be epic!:
Excuse my paint skills!
Conclusion
This feature being rolled out would greatly add to my Spotify experience! Add your kudos if you agree! :)

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Display Like and Share functionality in SharePoint 2013 search result

Hello Experts,
I dont Know whether i am asking a good question or bad one . but i am not very much expert in search.
I have to display No of Likes , Share functionality in SharePoint Search Results.
i know little basic about how display templates works. i want to implement these like and share functionality as actions in Item_common_hoverpanel_Actions template. show that i can see in preview.
please if any body can help me . i will be highly thankful to you.
Mukesh

This will be difficult. The number of likes has a managed property called LikesCount but it is not populated by the search crawler. So your JavaScript will have to read the "LikesCount" field of the corresponding list item. That would be a
lot of code to execute in the item display template just to display the number of likes. You could have a button that displayed a callout that would get the information and display it. The Sharing could be done via JavaScript in your item display template
using a REST call. You can see an example of code to do that here:
http://sharepointfieldnotes.blogspot.com/2014/09/sharing-documents-with-sharepoint-rest.html?showComment=1428595550241#c3227376854590814312
Just remember the user must have permission to share these documents, so your code will have to handle this.

Office documents does not open in the default office application from Search Results

1 WFE + 1 App Server + 1 server for OWA + 1 separate DB server make up our DEV SharePoint 2013 environment. We migrated many web applications from our SP 2010 environment to SP 2013 environment. Client integration is enabled and "Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default" feature is enabled at the site collection level. OWA is enabled and working on the search results, such as showing preview.
From the document libraries, if I open office documents like word, excel and PowerPoint, they open in the respective office applications. However, from the search results, when I try to open by clicking on the result, it opens on the browser. I want
OWA to show document preview but still want to open the document in the default office application. How to overcome this?
I have IE 8.
Thanks, Soumya | MCITP, SharePoint 2010

Go to the bottom of the Search page, you will see a Preferences link:
From there, you can set your preference. This is a per-user setting and as far as I'm aware, cannot be set globally.

Sorting people search results

Hi
We tried to sort the PeopleSearch Results by LastName and then by FirstName using the Query Designer.
In the preview everything works fine, buth when we save the web part settings and do a seearch on the people results page, the results are not sorted as excpected.
Query Sorting, (sorting as expected in preview)
People results page using the settings above:
Not properly sorted
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks,
Stephan

Wow! I was able to reproduce your problem. There seems to be no way to get the sorting to work correctly in the search results. I have been able to sort the results correctly using either a) Content by Search part or b) an App issuing a query through
the API.
I think you are going to have to replace the OOB people search page with a custom solution based on either the Content by Search part or an app.
I have an Employee Directory app available on my CodePlex project here.

I once used this add on which when I hover the mouse on a word/link, a pop up will show of the meaning/image of the word, or search results. What's the add on?

I am looking for this particular add on or app which allows me to hover my mouse over a word or link and a pop up will appear beside such word or link showing either a picture or meaning of the word or a preview of the link. Sometimes it shows suggestions of sites relating to the word (almost similar to search results). I used it before but I cannot remember anymore what it was called. I would like to use it again.

Hi. I have had a look around I think I have found something that may help. Give an addon called "Wiktionary and Google Translate" a go. You can find it [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-US/firefox/addon/google-dictionary-and-google-t/ here].
Feel free to leave the developer of the addon some feedback if you like it. It looks really useful, I might be tempted to use this one myself.
