Summary
This chapter marks the beginning of our journey to create search-driven applications using SharePoint 2013. We started the chapter by discussing the new features of SharePoint 2013 Search and divided them into four categories: administration changes, UI changes, relevance and ranking changes, and new development methods. Once we had an idea about what's new in SharePoint 2013 Search, we went on and deep-dived into the new search architecture.
In the next chapter we will get our hands dirty, and once we understand how to work with the out-of-the-box search components, we will build our first search-driven application using them.
