dtSearch Offers Three Search Tips

October 26, 2015

Most users key in 2.8 words and let the system do the heavy lifting. What millennial has time to do old fashioned research? Apparently lots. I read “Top 3 Tips to Improve Document Search.” The source of the information is a wizard at dtSearch, a vendor which offers a solution to SharePoint search woes.

Here are the tips. Note that these are useful when using the dtSearch system.

  3. “Store OCR output in searchable PDF format.” Raise your hand if you know how to create a searchable PDF. The remainder of the folks answering this question may find this link helpful.

See how easy it is to improve one’s ability to search.
