Alphabetical Filter Field

Ability to show or hide the sort drop down.


Items Per Page

Enable Wildcard Search

Whether a wildcard is added to each search term.

If this option is enabled, it provides great recall (more results come back) but lower precision (the results are less accurate).

It is recommended to have this setting disabled by default if you are a large organization.


Trim Duplicates

Option to disable the Trim Duplicates option in SharePoint search. In our experience the search engine sometimes thinks a user is a duplicate when in fact they are not. Recommendation is to have this disabled.
