Custom Search Scopes in SP2010

Hi,
I have created a shared search scope in the Central Administration. I am adding this scope to the Search Drop Down display group of my team site. I want the name of this search scope to be localized based on the user's preferred display
language. How can I achieve this programmatically ?
Out of box shared scopes like 'People' do get translated based on the user's preferred display language.

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, Search Scopes has been replaced by the Result Sources. For your requirement, here is a workaround for your reference:

Sharepoint 2010 custom search for subsites

Sharepoint 2010
Hello, i have main site and about 30 subsites. And on each subsite about 30 document librarys.
I created basic search center custom site with name "Search". I also created custom scope. So when i search on my main site, anything is fine and when i go to subsite document library my scope is changed to this site:document librarys name. Then
i pu something in search line and click search. On my custom search page i can see, that all links are from correct subsite and correct document library, but my scope shows "This Site:Search". So when i put something else in my search line and click
search, i dont get any results, because it searches only on search page. Even when i click on scope dropdown, there is no choice, only "This Site:Search".
Is there any solution to create a search scope, that would take the parameters from the document librarys URL from wich i am searching for and put it in the scope.
P.S.
Default search OSSSearchResults.aspx works fine, but i nead to change xsl code.
I tried to put scope dropdown to "show and default to url parametr", but nothing is changed.

Hi Dmitri,
If you want to search on a library, you can go to the library, then search using the Search Box at the top of the page. When you search, it will go to the OSSSearchResults.aspx page, and on the page, you will find there are two search scope, one is the library,
another is the site. If you want to search on another library, you can go to another library, then search.
Or, you can create a custom search scope pointed to the library, and add the search scope into the Search Dropdown display group.

SharePoint 2013 custom search Result Type for "Documents" not showing up as option

I'm trying to create a custom search Result Type called "Documents" that will filter to MS Office filetypes and PDF's.
However, when I perform a search, although many of these types of files show up in the results, I don't have "Documents" as a Result Type option.
Here are the steps I'm following:
From my Enterprise Search Center subsite: Site Settings > Manage Result Types.
New Result Type.
Name: Documents
Source: Documents (System) - this out-of-the-box Result Source appears to cover the filetypes I need.
Types of content: I've tried leaving it blank (to match all content) and specifically picking the types I want.
What should these results look like? Office Document Item.
Check Optimize for frequent use.
Save.
I then go back to my search center and search for a common keyword. Many in-scope file show up in the search results. However, under Result Type, I don't see "Documents," even if I click "SHOW MORE."
Please advise.
Thanks.
Brad

@Mikael As you say, to display the exact results when we click a result source, we should implement logic code to check whether item should be displayed. I have followed steps nearly the same as the topic owner but I saw nothing different between Everything
and my custom Result Type.
Here are the steps I'm following:
Create a custom result type, named Job, and specify a custom display template for it.
Set its condition to filter list items that have JobName site column ( JobName is site column's managed property) equal of any "IT" or "Doctor".
I search for "Perter", it returns 5 items with Everything. I expect that it should return 3 items since only those items contain JobName site column.
Search is fun but rather headache sometimes, give me advise please :)
Thanks,
Hoan.

Site Collection level Search Scopes after Upgraded to 2013

In SharePoint 2010 we have good amount of site collection level search scopes and it has been heavily used in search scope down.
Please correct me if any of my below statement is wrong
1.After migration these scopes cannot be used and it will not appear in search drop down.
2.Only opition I have is to create Result Source and Configure search navigation at Site Level?
3.For Result Sources to appear in drop down I need to have individual search page for every custom result source.
I would really appreciate your inputs
Thank you
Vijay

1. Usually 2010 Search Scopes can be used after migrating to 2013. What you can't do is edit them or create new ones. However, I've had mixed luck with them. About 75% seem to work, with the rest being broken beyond repair.
2. If the migrated scope doesn't continue to work your only real option is a REsult Source. To add them to the dropdown you will need to configure the navigation at the Site level.
3. Result sources can re-use result pages used by other Result sources. You need a Result source for each entry, but that result source may point to the same page as another result source.

What is the Behavior.Navigation URL for creating navigation bar links for search scopes for security group and distribution groups?

...the search scope is used to subset the SGs and DGs. The search scope itself shows expected results. The search scope filter used is: /Group[Type='Security' or Type='MailEnabledSecurity'][(Domain = 'DomainX') or (Domain = 'DomainY')]
Tried the following, with the GUID being the resource ID from the search scope for security groups:
~/identitymanagement/aspx/customized/CustomizedObjects.aspx?type=Group&searchtype=e8ed98b6-e299-4b8d-bfe5-e4b2adf1cd60
~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/Groups.aspx?type=Group&searchtype=e8ed98b6-e299-4b8d-bfe5-e4b2adf1cd60
Thanks

are you talking about redirect URL in search scope ? FIM will automatically add the searchtype querystring
for custom groups search scope you can use :
~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx
and configure you search scope to use the same UsageKeywords as for the security groups
and restart your IIS server using the command "IISRESET"
in your case if you want to create navigation bar link to your group-type search scope use may use this format:
http://{your fim server}/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx?searchtype={your searchscope guid}&content=%2a
ex : http://fimserver/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx?searchtype=47e0a973-0ab4-46f5-815f-f5028c1af58e&content=%2a

Return custom search results from a list

Hello all!
I'm currently on a Windows 7 migration project where we need a custom search function for our SP2010 page.
Basically, the user will enter there machine barcode into the search box and query information from a list. This query will only return information relevant to that users machine barcode. For example, the user searches there barcode and the return results
ONLY displays information for that user/barcode, information such as delivery date, delivery location, migration POC, etc..
What is the best approach to this scenario?
I'd like to do the least amount of custom coding as possible aka not using Visual basics.
Thanks in advance!

If you create a custom column, probably Managed Metadata, called Machine number, you can then search for items in hte list which have that value.
This would work in both a search center, if you were to map that column to become a mapped property and then add it to the refiners bar, and on the list using metadata navigation in list settings > advanced.
Zero code.

Issue with custom search fields in agent inbox

Hi All,
I am working on CRM agent inbox 7.0. The issue I am facing is like this:
I have added custom search fields in inbox. When give a combination of standard search field and custom search field, the result is only based on standard field. The value of custom field is not considered.
Is this a standard behaviour? Are standard fields given higher priority that custom fields?
Any pointers on this would be highly helpful.
Thanks,
Narendra

Hi Naren,
Did you add custom field using AET? If yes then while adding custom field using AET did you make it search and result relevant?
There is nothing like priority in standard SAP fields and custom fields.
Please let me know so that I can further help you.
Thanks,
Bhushan

Deleted items showup in custom search

We are using custom search portlet for search functionality on our site. The problem is, items that were deleted from a page in the past are also showing up in search results. And when we click on the item in search result, it throws page not found error.
I checked the database and these items are there in wwv_things table. Any way to automatically remove deleted items from index tables?

Which version of portal are you working with? Thanks.

Custom Search help in Record Working Time

Hi,
We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Pradeep

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Custom search using boolean attribute set to True gives no result

I am setting up an auto-query using the custom search portlet. This is to show all items where a boolean custom attribute is checked, ie = True.
In step 3 I have tried to set the operator to Equals to and the default value to True. This gives no results even though several items have this attribute set to True.
The Auto Query check box is checked.

Found that True = 1 in database. When set to this the search works.

How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

How to create a custom search portlet that groups results by category

Hello,
Is it possible to create a custom search portlet whose search results are displayed on a page grouped by Category? Basically the results page should have Category heading followed by search results.
I realize this is not canned functionality but any ideas on how to accomplish this using PLSQL APIs is also welcome.
Thanks.

hi,
one workaround i could think of is using the CM views to search for content that belongs to a category and display it in a custom way.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc904/wwsbr_api_view.html
this only allows you to search for the meta-data available in the CM views but not the content of an item that is available when doing a search.
in the next major portal release we will have a publich search API that can be used for these type of requirements. you can execute your search and format the results in the way you want.
regards,
christian

Search scopes taking long time to load SharePoint 2010

Hi!
It takes very long time (more than 5-10 mins) for the Search Scopes page to load. This is very annoying and proves to be very much NON-productive while working on search related tasks.
Please help if you came across any such issue.
Thanks,
Owens G. Jesse

Hi Owens ,
According to your description, my understanding is that only your Search Scopes page loads very slowly.
For your issue , you can enable Developer Dashboard for SharePoint 2010 with PowerShell first.
With Developer Dashboard, you can find out where the Search Scopes page loading time was spent at server side.
Reference:

Please inform me freely if you have any questions.

Custom search help with F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to retrieve 2 columns

Hi all,
i have a problem to retrieve selected value from a custom search help. I need to retrieve 2 columns from the selected line. eg. there are A,B,C,D column in the search help. I need to get the B and D. can anyone help? Thanks

For achieving this follow the following 4 steps:
1. While calling F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST pass the importing paramter return_tab to make the data selected by the user IN SELECTION screen. Remember that without this the user entry is avaliable only at START OF SELECTION.
2. Use this value to READ TABLE your internal table to get the value of other column.
3. Load an internal table with values you want to assign to selection screen fields.
4. Assign values to the field in selection field using Fn Module: 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'.
Example:
DATA: ......,
    lit_fields     type table of dynpread,
    ls_fields      type dynpread,
    lit_ret_tab    type table of ddshretval,
    ls_ret_tab     type ddshretval.
. call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
      retfield        = 'VARI'
      dynpprog        = sy-cprog
      dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
      dynprofield     = 'P_VARI'
      value_org       = 'S'
    tables
      value_tab       = lit_abc
      return_tab      = lit_ret_tab
    exceptions
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      others          = 3.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
*-----get the entered value of field vari
read table lit_ret_tab into ls_ret_tab index 1.
lv_vari = ls_ret_tab-fieldval.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
*-----get value of the other column vari_d
read table lit_abc into ls_abc with key vari = lv_vari.
lv_vari_d = ls_abc-vari_d.
*----- Append to an internal table with values you want to assin to selection screen fields.
ls_fields-fieldname = 'P_VARI'.
ls_fields-fieldvalue = lv_vari.
append ls_fields to lit_fields.
ls_fields-fieldname = 'P_VARI_D'.
ls_fields-fieldvalue = lv_vari-d.
append ls_fields to lit_fields.
*---- Assign values to the field in selection field
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-cprog
      dynumb               = sy-dynnr
    tables
      dynpfields           = lit_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.

Help needed

hi, Jkuma,
we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
our conclustions are:
1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
how this is helpful hint for you.
