Search (Enterprise Search) in SharePoint

Better search functionality in SharePoint

Challenges with searching in SharePoint

  • SharePoint's limited search functionality makes it difficult for users to find information quickly and accurately.
  • The lack of in-depth search capabilities within documents and based on metadata hinders quick access to specific information.

Search functionality in SharePoint often leaves much to be desired, especially in large organisations where thousands of documents, emails and files are stored across multiple folders and sites. Users struggle to find the right information quickly and accurately because SharePoint offers limited search capabilities that often do not go beyond basic filename filtering. This leads to a lot of wasted time, as employees have to search for documents that often disappear in the crowd.

Moreover, SharePoint cannot always perform deep searches within document content or based on metadata, which is crucial for large companies that depend on quick access to specific information.

SharePoint DMS makes searching for documents and information easier and faster by offering a powerful Enterprise Search feature. This functionality goes far beyond standard SharePoint searches and allows users to search by file names, metadata, keywords and even within document content. But Enterprise Search goes further: it enables quick searches for projects, cases, workflows, etc. This ensures that employees can always find the right information, even in complex, large datasets.

SharePoint DMS's search function is also intelligent: it adapts based on search behaviour and learns which documents are often searched for. This makes the search process even faster and more accurate, allowing teams to work more efficiently and save valuable time.
