Learning Search-driven Application Development with SharePoint 2013 is a fast-paced, practical, hands-on guide to the world of enterprise search in SharePoint 2013. With step-by-step tutorials and real-world-based exercises, this book will give you a head start in creating fresh and exciting search-driven applications using SharePoint 2013's new search engine. The book covers a wide range of topics such as Query Rules, Result Types and Display Templates, Working with the new client APIs, and Business Connectivity Services.
Chapter 1, Getting Started With SharePoint 2013 Search, gives you a taste of the new features SharePoint 2013 search brings to the table and then dives deep into the architecture that holds this system together.
Chapter 2, Using the Out of the Box Search Components, shows you how to use query rules and result sources and get a taste of building a simple search-driven application. SharePoint 2013 provides a rich out of the box experience for developing search-driven applications.
Chapter 3, Using the New CSOM and RESTful APIs, explains how to work with these new APIs and build a SharePoint hosted search-driven app using the new App developing approach. SharePoint 2013 changes the way we developers extend the platform by providing a whole new set of client-based APIs.
Chapter 4, Customizing the Look, focuses on creating display templates that define how a search result will render, and result types that define which display template a result should have. SharePoint 2013 opens up a whole new way to design our search results.
Chapter 5, Extending Beyond SharePoint, introduces how to create an external indexing connector and understand how to work with external data. In a real-world environment, not all the information we wish to search for is hosted within SharePoint. Business Connectivity Services (or BCS for short) enables us to extend beyond the realms of SharePoint and index data from external systems.
To run the examples shown in this book you will need a SharePoint 2013 server with Visual Studio 2012 installed.
If you don't have access to a full SharePoint 2013 server, Office 365's SharePoint Online and Visual Studio 2012 can also be used to run most of the examples in this book.
This book is written for SharePoint and JavaScript developers who wish to get started working with SharePoint search. The book assumes working knowledge with previous versions of SharePoint and some experience with JavaScript and client-side development.
