What are some examples of cross site publishing?
Cross-site publishing was designed with some common scenarios in mind, including: Share an item list or a page library as a publishing catalog. Consume a catalog from search. Combine cross-site publishing with the variations feature to enable authoring multilingual sites from a common authoring site collection.
You can use catalogs to really reuse content across your sites and across the boundary between your intranet sites, extranet sites, and Internet sites. For predefined search queries, catalogs are flagged in search. You can surface content stored in catalogs across site collections by using the Content Search web part in SharePoint.
Category pages and catalog item pages are page layouts that you can use to show structured catalog content consistently across a site. SharePoint enables you to create and customize page layouts for SharePoint and above. For more information, see Customize page layouts for a catalog-based site in SharePoint.
How to add catalog content to search index?
Crawl the content in your catalog-enabled libraries and lists. This will add the catalog content to the search index. Add one or more Search Web Parts to the site collections where you want to display your catalog content. When users view a page, the Search Web Parts issue queries to the search index.
When to use custom search results in SharePoint?
The custom search results page will be used in the same scenarios that were showing the site search results page (when you enter search from site pages, or the home page of the site for example). It will not be in effect when you are searching within a list, library or the site contents page.
Where do search results come from on a website?
When users search on a site, results can come from many places such as columns, libraries, and pages. A site owner can change search settings to decide whether content is allowed to appear in search results. Permissions on content also affect whether users are allowed to see the content in search results.
Structured navigation is a static approach to implementing navigation on SharePoint sites. It usually matches the company’s structure, which requires restructuring the SharePoint site navigation. Restructuring work often means moving subsites and/or pages, and refreshing links to point to new targets.
Publishing site features. SharePoint and SharePoint Online include a few features that are specific to SharePoint publishing sites: Device channels enable you to apply a single publishing site design to multiple devices and browsers. Display templates make it possible to brand and customize the appearance of search-related web parts.
