I posted one article in the Microsoft Technet wiki about the what is the future course of the long lasted InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016.
And also some prediction on what could be the successor of the InfoPath form technology at end of the article , may be I am not sure on this but 80 percent of chances there those technologies can be used to future form technology.

Configuring the basic search in SharePoint 2013
In this article , I tell you how to configure the very basic search setting on the SharePoint 2013.
I assume , the Search Service application has been started on your server and good to go further to configure.

I assume , the Search Service application has been started on your server and good to go further to configure.
First on my site, I typed the keyword in the search text box and hit the search icon and my result was first time its looks so.
Go to Application ManagementàManager
Service Applicationà
Click on the “Search Service Application”à
Now my search configuration shows nothing is configured to
be crawled.
Your first step is to create search functionality in your
site is specify the “Content Sources” to be crawled by the Search Engine.
On the Search Service Admin page, on the left navigation
menu select the “Content Sources” from the Crawling header.
On Manage Content Source page, Local SharePoint sites are
configured by default content source. In this case, I do not have any crawl
history. Go and click on the “Start all Crawls” link.
There are two types of crawl in SharePoint Search.
Full crawl and Incremental Crawl.
Every
time you start or the crawl, engine will crawled on the configured data source
and store it on the “Crawled database type”. You can find it on the search
service management page.
You can also have on control on what site can be crawled.
Example you can exclude the HR Site or Finance department site from the
crawling and searched by the end user.
To manage this, click on “New Content Source” and type the site name that wanted to be crawled and searchable in the SharePoint.
After I started the crawl now my search management dashboard looks like this,
and I am able to see the crawl history on the content source page.
Now go back to your site and type the keyword in the search
text box. Now you’ll be able to see the Search Result.

Issues fixed in SharePoint 2010 SP1
When you are working on SharePoint 2010 and got the below listed any of the error and stumbled upon searching the solution for these issues and found nothing,
Then its time for your to update your SharePoint 2010 Farm with
SP1 Package.
ü When you
issue an SPQuery that uses list joins and projections, the query returns a
"One or more field types are not installed properly ... " error
message.
ü On
Galician blog sites, the date box on the left side of a blog entry shows the
month and the day reversed.
ü When you
click "Test Link" in the Image Viewer web part, the browser
crashes.
ü Users
experience publishing failures.
ü When you
send a meeting request that has an exception to a SharePoint calendar, only the
last exception is displayed on the Calendar. If you try to send that same
meeting request again, the last exception is duplicated, and the duplicate
event cannot be deleted.
ü When you
delete a folder that is inside a list, attachments to the list items that are
contained in the folder are not deleted.
ü The JAWS
screen reader reads ribbon menus incorrectly in Firefox.
ü Right and
left alignment icons in the Ribbon are mirrored incorrectly in
"right-to-left" language versions.
ü Before
SP1, you could not have some pages rendered in Internet Explorer 9 document
mode (instead of Internet Explorer 8). Starting with SP1, a control is
available that lets you set individual pages to be rendered in Internet
Explorer 9.
ü Calendar
view is not rendered correctly when the browser window is resized.
ü If a
SharePoint managed account is removed in Active Directory, the account cannot
be unregistered from SharePoint.
ü When you
try to search in Help as a non-administrator, no results are returned.
ü URLs to
documents in document libraries are very long and include the Source parameter
when the URL is copied (e.g., by right-clicking and selecting Copy Shortcut).
In SP1, the Source parameter is not included in a copied URL, so the URL is
much shorter.
ü On a
single page, if a combination of a CAML list view (or any non-XSLT list view,
such as Calendar) and an XSLT list view (list or document library) is present
and Group By views is enabled on the XSLT view, a problem occurs when groups in
the XSLT list view are expanded. After a page refresh, a script error occurs
and the groups cannot be expanded again.
ü When you
use the Backup-SPSite Windows PowerShell cmdlet with the -UseSqlSnapshot
parameter, an error occurs.
ü After a
user changes a doclib content type field from required to hidden, they cannot
check in a file of that content type.
ü The Quick
Launch is difficult to navigate using accessibility tools.
ü Before
SP1, the Title field on attachments was a required field. Therefore, users had
to supply a title to save a document. Starting with SP1, the Title field
is no longer a required field.
ü Group
owners cannot delete the SharePoint groups that they own.
