Day 18 - Search Overview

SharePoint Embedded offers robust search capabilities that enhance productivity and collaboration within organizations. Users can effortlessly locate documents, files, and other content across SharePoint Embedded Containers using intuitive search features. The search functionality indexes content and metadata, ensuring quick and accurate retrieval of information. Additionally, it supports metadata and keyword searches, allowing users to refine their queries and find relevant results efficiently.

When to use it

A key aspect of SharePoint Embedded's search capabilities is the distinction between container properties, custom columns and Enumeration.

• Container properties pertain to the intrinsic attributes of storage containers, which can be utilized to filter and organize search results. These properties function similarly to Site Collection property bag values in SharePoint.
• Custom columns are user-defined fields that offer supplementary metadata for items within these containers, similar to metadata fields in SharePoint that are stored in the search index.
• Enumeration Is a query string approach that will retrieve items in real time.? You have filter, sort, order by and expand options to narrow the results.

By leveraging both container properties, custom columns and Enumeration, users can create highly specific and effective search queries, making the search experience even more powerful and tailored to their needs.
