How to improve Search in SharePoint

In this video, you will learn how to improve and optimize SharePoint Search. While SharePoint Search out of the box is pretty powerful, you can also alter the search results and search experience for your users. The following 4 techniques are explained in this video:
- Bookmarks
- Q&A (Questions & Answers)
- Acronyms
- Search Verticals
Bookmarks is a feature available in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center that allows SharePoint Administrators to bookmark certain content and have it appear on top of the other search results. Bookmarks point users to sources you already have (pages, documents, articles) via the URL link.
Q&A is a feature available in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center that allows SharePoint Administrators to provide answers to questions when users search for a given query in SharePoint.
Acronyms is a feature available in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center that allows SharePoint Administrators to create a list of acronyms (abbreviations) and their explanations and present them to the users when they search for a given acronym.
Search Verticals is a feature available to both SharePoint Site Owners and SharePoint Administrators to create Search Tabs (Verticals) that would allow users to execute a filtered view of the search results based on the filters built into the Search Vertical.
