Well if you want this web part by default I don't think there is any option Out of the box, you have to do a bit of customization; may be use FeatureStapling or WebProvisioned Event receiver.

Is there a way to change this so the web part is displayed, by default, in my personal sites?

Emmanuel - The storage planning for SP2013 TechNet is under review, should be out anytime soon. The previous white papers though give approximation, it might change for SP15.

Hi Chandra, an additional question : i cannot find any capacity planning for search 2013. Based on the FAST 2010 white paper, i can project a local storage needed of about 17% of the content databases, which is huge. (mainly for the read only index file, which looks a flat file rather than SQL)

Can you confirm this architecture is still valid in 2013? Thanks!

do not worry, dropping the databases and starting again dit it :)

it's actually a two liner,

$spapp = Get-SPServiceApplication -Name "Search Service Application"

Remove-SPServiceApplication $spapp -RemoveData

re: Changing navigation drop down menus speed in SharePoint

Hi,

Would this work if I am not using SimpleRendering. i.e. I am using a seperate CSS style for each menu item.

re: Visual Studio 2010 F5 solution deployment

I picked up this tip from Doug Ware, a SharePoint consultant in Atlanta who authored a series of SharePoint tutorials:

An alternate way to prevent field conflicts during development: put the following script calls in your Visual Studio pre-deploy command line box. These effectively drop and recreate the site. They run surprisingly quick, but, do add a few seconds more to your 'F5' rapid interative development cycles:

stsadm -o deletesite -url devbox01.mycompany.local

stsadm -o createsite -url devbox01.mycompany.local -owneremail me@mycompany.com -ownerlogin MYCOMPANY\me -siteTemplate "STS#1" -description "This site is a Visual Studio test bed. It may get blasted away and recreated without notice." -title "My Development Site"
