HOTSPOT
You need to ensure that corporate search guidelines are followed. What rule should you create? (To answer, select the appropriate option from each drop-down list
in the answer area.)
Hot Area:

Answer:

Explanation:
Scenario:
Allow administrators to promote search query results across the entire company.
* Query rules are composed of three components:
Condition When to apply the rule?
Action What to do when the rule is matched?
Publishing When should the rule be active?
* Actions
Once the condition has been configured the fun begins! The next step is to decide what to do when the query rule applies. Essentially there are three options here:
Add Promoted Result
Add Result Block
Change ranked results by changing the query
Add Promoted Result A promoted result is a result that appears at the top of the search results, this is particularly useful way to promote a particular search result.
For example, you may want a query for “human resources info” to promote a link to the human resources SharePoint Site.
