This is an english translation of my article for SharePoint Advent “VON A BIS Z: ERSTELLUNG EINES DISPLAY TEMPLATES FÜR DIE SHAREPOINT SUCHE UM DIE EIGENSCHAFTEN EINES DOKUMENTS SICHTBAR ZU MACHEN”. Display Templates can be used in Web Parts to individualize search results (see also Introduction to Display Templates on MSDN). In this article I will show you how a Display Template for SharePoint 2013 Search is structured, why you need them and how to customize/extend them.
