Customize Search Results

Learn how to customize the Starmind Connector Search Results.

The Starmind Graph Connector includes a default visualization for displaying Starmind insights in search results which is regularly updated with the latest developments.

However, Microsoft support to customize the search results

Create a custom search result type

To create a result type, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings > Search & intelligence > Customizations.
  2. Go to the Result type tab, and then select Add.
  3. Provide the following details:
    1. Name: Starmind
    2. Content source: Set this to the Starmind Graph Connector
    3. Rules: none
    4. Design your layout: You might want to refer to the default Starmind result type to get the idea

Further details can be found on the official documentation.

Create a vertical

Search verticals are tabs on the search result page that show results of a specific type or from select sources.

❗️

Starmind in main search results

We do not recommend using only a dedicated Starmind Insights tab without integrating results into the main search. This reduces the likelihood that users will find relevant information and prevents Microsoft Copilot from including insights from the Starmind Graph Connector in its responses.

For the best experience, we suggest enabling both the dedicated tab and integration into the main search to maximize visibility and usability.

If you want a dedicated Starmind insights tab next to have the results included in the main search, proceed with the following steps.

  1. Go to Settings > Search & intelligence > Customizations. (Microsoft 365 Search Admin)
  2. Go to Vertical, and then select Add.
  3. Provide the following details:
    1. Name of the Vertical: You can choose any name you like, we recommend simply calling it 'Starmind '.
    2. Content source: Set this to the Starmind Graph Connector
    3. Add a query: Leave Blank
    4. Filters: Select the available Starmind schema properties to add an optional filter to the vertical
    5. Enable the new vertical
