The document discusses the four pillars of an effective enterprise search strategy: context, content, metadata, and user experience (UX). It emphasizes that context matters for different user roles and responsibilities. It also stresses that only a small percentage of total content should be indexed to ensure relevance. Effective use of metadata, such as managed properties and taxonomies, can help users refine searches. Finally, it highlights the importance of continuously optimizing the search experience and interface based on usage data and user feedback.

Editor's Notes
- #10: User Context in search is all about augmenting a search query with information that gives the query a greater level of meaning, or ‘understanding’. As an organization we have access to information about a user that Web Search engines could only dream of – this is one of the levers that enterprises can use to bring a greater level of relevance to search inside the firewall. Context is about information flowing to a user – the right information, at the right time – depending on where they are, what they’re doing, and what they need – one view. It’s important to highlight that knowing the ‘what’, ‘why’, and ‘who’ of a search query you have greater control in bringing back better quality results. In this case the ‘what’ is the question that the user is asking of the search application, the ‘why’ is a reflection of the business need, and the ‘who’ is the context or environment of the user.
