The Search High Confidence Results Web Part is configured to display an exact match of a people search. It also includes settings that enable you to display the result of many types of automatic searches. The Search High Confidence Results Web Part can also include keyword and Best Bet search results. However, these are not configured to display by default. A people search match is labeled as Exact Match when returned by the Search High Confidence Web Part. If you have applied the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers, you also can link to results from Federated Results Web Part.

Some configuration is needed for keyword and Best Bet search results to display. A site collection administrator must designate query terms as keywords for a site collection. When a keyword is defined, a site collection administrator can also list specific content items that should be returned when that keyword is included in a search query. These content items are called Best Bets and are configured in the properties of a keyword. For more information, see Add keyword terms with Best Bets (Office SharePoint Server).

Note

The Search High Confidence Web Part and the Search Best Bets Web Part contain identical properties. However, the default values of these properties differ. The Search High Confidence Web Part properties are configured to display results defined as high confidence, which are exact matches to people searches. By default, the properties that control keyword and Best Bet search results are configured not to be displayed. The Best Bets Web Part is configured by default to display keyword and Best Bet results, but not to display results defined as high confidence.
