Mastering Microsoft Search
Online Courses
May 4-8 2020 and June 22-26 2020
Start your Microsoft Search Journey with us and achieve your goals in Office 365
You are responsible for Search in Office 365, but out-of-the-box it does not deliver the relevant results the users expect.
You feel Search is too complex but want to understand how it works.
Search is only a small part of your job, you have many other responsibilities. Still, you have to do magic, but you have no idea how to start, and how to squeeze it into your schedule.
You have no budget to travel for attending a workshop.
But still…
You would like to know how to have custom Search in Office 365 when customizing out-of-the-box Microsoft Search is not possible today.
You want to know how the backend of Microsoft Search works, and what you can do to make it work as expected in your organization.
You want to know which “classic” custom settings and configurations can be used in Microsoft Search.
You want to learn more about how to optimize content for better findability in Search.
You want to learn about PnP Modern Search.
You want to learn about best practices, tips and tricks, and also real world examples from a recognized expert.
Your Instructor: Agnes Molnar, MVP and Managing Consultant of Search Explained
If you’re a search manager, search administrator, or the Office 365 guru who is responsible for search, and you want to know how to become the “search champion” in your organization, I am here to help.
With over a decade of search consulting experience, I have seen all kinds of organizations: large and small, local and global, profit-oriented and NGO, conservative and very agile – all facing the challenges of content findability. I’ve founded Search Explained in 2014, and since then, I have been helping organizations around the globe…
- improve and enhance search in all the different versions of SharePoint on-prem an in the cloud;
- have customized “classic” and “modern” search in SharePoint Online;
- have up-to-date knowledge about Search in Office 365, including Microsoft Search;
- understand how Content Services in Office 365 can help to optimize and enhance search;
- create an overall search strategy and governance plan in Office 365, preparing IT, Communications, HR and all the users to the constant changes;
- know the best resources to learn from.
My passion has been always sharing my knowledge – this is why I am super excited about this online course.
