1. Previewing search documents
SharePoint
2013 offers a number of preview options within the search results view.
For example, users can quickly preview Microsoft Office documents via
the Office Web Apps integration. The same is true for video results.
These features are particularly useful when you are trying to scroll
through a number of potentially relevant search results. Integrated
preview makes it possible for you to quickly glance at a document or
video and determine if you need to investigate further without opening
or downloading the full version of the document.
-
In the upper-right corner of the window, in the Search box, type a search term and then press Enter to start a search.
-
Hover the mouse over a search result that shows a Microsoft Office document.
-
Navigate within the document by using the preview navigation tools.
This
feature is available to Office 365 and SharePoint Server 2013 editions.
It has been included due to its expected popularity and usage. If you
are not using Office 365 or SharePoint Server 2013 this section does
not apply. If you have a collection of similar Community Sites that are
managed by the same group of people, or if you don’t have
administrative access to create site collections, you can also create a
discussion site as a subsite.
