In this video, I explain the following 10 tricks to improve SharePoint Search results:

1. Search the contents of the document returns results that only appear inside the document itself

2. Boolean Operators allows you to combine multiple keywords into the search query

3. Exclude keywords allows you to exclude certain keywords from the search results

4. Search for exact phrase allows you to find documents that contain the specific phrase (combination of words)

5. Wildcard Search allows you to show results that start with a specific letter combination

6. Exclude documents from Search results allows you to return results that do not include documents (list items, pages).

7. Search Results by the File Size allows you to find files exceeding a certain file size

8. Search File Name only allows you to search for keywords within the file name only

9. Search Content Types allows you to find documents tagged with a specific Content Type

10. Search for files tagged with Managed Metadata allows you to find documents tagged with a specific Managed Metadata (metadata defined within the Term store)
