Diagnosing Display Template : Classical Overview Of Configuring Item Templates for Search WebParts

 To know more about what is Control Display Template and Item Display Template , Read this post.
 To diagnose  query values in Display template (In search webparts) , Item_Diagnostic item template is  available OOB. 
 To Configure this Item Template in Search Results WebPart's Toolpane,proceed as follows

 1)Navigate to Master Page gallery-->Display Templates-->Content Webparts -->Item_Diagnostic.html
    and Edit the properties to to check Search Result Webpart as Target control Type
 

 2)Now Edit the Search Page and Search Result WebPart to Select this Item template


 3)I found that in office 365 site this gives following error,but this can be corrected.
    To do so,Download Item_Diagnostic.html,Open with editor 
    search for this code line
    var pictureMarkup = Srch.ContentBySearch.getPictureMarkup(pictureURL, 100, 100, ctx.CurrentItem,    "cbs- picture3LinesImg", line1, pictureId);
and replace it by 
 var pictureMarkup =' ';
 Now rename the file , and upload it in display templates folder and set Target Control Type as Search Result

Display Error: The display template had an error. You can correct it
 by fixing the template or by changing the display template used in either the 
Web Part properties or Result Types.


Cannot call method 'getPictureMarkup' of 
undefined (CoreRender: ~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates
/Content Web Parts/Item_Diagnostic.js)
But  this should work in SharePoint 2013
anyways this post is to provide classical overview of Configuring Item Template for Search WebParts
All Item Template for Refinement Search WebPart will be found in Filter folder Under Display Templates folder in MasterPage gallery

Composed Look In SharePoint 2013: Templatization Of Look and Feel

I think idea behind introducing  Composed Look  is ,
a)Preparing look and feel in form of template
b)Modifying the look and feel on the fly.
1)Take a look at following Image, which helps to change the background image of the Master Page, on the fly.

2)Once Composed look is created , Under Site settings -->Look and feel -->Change the Look -->Select recently created look and apply . Here is my site with change of background Image :)
 For more insight about .spcolor and .spfont files , see this post and this one

Display Templates Bit By Bit

In SharePoint 2013 and Office 365, Content search Webpart and Search result Webpart respectively ,can be use to get the aggregated Contents based on conditions
Display Templates consists of 2 Templates
1) Control template
   a)  To show multiple groups Group template can be configured.
   b)  To show contents without groups Content Template can be configured directly
2)Item Template
