SharePoint 2013/Online bring lots of search functionality to the table and in this book search specialist Mikael Svenson will via examples show the ins and outs of:

Keyword Query Language (KQL)
Query Variables
Result Sources
Query Rules
Search Orchestration

You will also get a brief introduction to the FAST Query Language (FQL) and a comparison of the Search Result Web Part vs. the Content Search Web Part.

This book does not cover search schemas, custom full-text indexes or rank profiles, but focuses on the query part of SharePoint and how to use craft search queries for search driven solutions.

The book is based on Mikael's blog series by the same name, and provides an easy access reference and guide to search queries in SharePoint.
