Customizing Advanced Search Box

We have a SharePoint 2010 farm. Some users complain that they have difficulty in finding documents. They get many results back and so have a hard time in searching for what they are looking for. Users search documents using Advanced Search box.
I am thinking of adding scopes so that users users will only see relevant information i.e. documents specific to their site. Is there anything else I can do to make their search experience more effective and rewarding? Thanks a lot.

Hi Mayank,
I blogged about making modifications to the advanced search webpart (to make it a little more user friendly), here: http://matthewyarlett.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/customising-sharepoint-advanced-search.html

Search keywords on Advanced Search Box in SharePoint 2010 cleared on Search Result Page

I migrated SharePoint 2007/Windows 2003/MS SQL 2005 to SharePoint2010/Windows 2008 R2/MS SQL 2008 system. New system does not work just like old system and requires some configuration changes. The search keyword
on Advanced Search Box is appended to browser address bar instead of remain static in the search field on Search Result page. Anyone has fix for this so it will work just like SP 2007 version?

does it give you search results ? Can you provide us the exact string when keyword jumps to browser address bar ? Also provide browser and OS versions.

Customizing Advanced Search within Final Cut Server

I'm currently trying (and failing) to set customize the advanced search (ASSET_SEARCH) I'm trying to create a drop-down list of Countries for where the footage was shot (footage is sorted into folders by country in the finder)
I've created a new lookup (Unicode String) and added the various countries, e.g. Uganda (Uganda)
I then created a new metadata field in which i set the lookup values to Country (which i just created)
I then added this metadata field to ASSET_SEARCH and then restarted the program. The new search field appeared with all the values, but whenever I selected a country no assets were found. From having a read around I think I need to do something with a Metadata Map?? but have hit a bit of a wall.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

thanks for your response. The Country metadata field is included in the Group [ASSET_SEARCH] do I need to add it to another group? I wonder if the problem maybe that the word 'Uganda' is contained in the location(file path) but it doesn't actually 'equal' it.
Unfortunately when I go to select the country I only get the options [All, Equals, Not Equals] and not [contains], do you know if I can change this?? and do I need to Map the metadata field 'Country' to 'Location' so it knows where it should be looking??
Thanks

Customizing advanced search

hi,
i am planning to make a customization on the advanced search page of a module.
i want to add 2 new search criteria :
_a CUF
_a basic html <select> list filled with an sql request
how can i add those fields in the advanced search page ?
how can i modify the standard sql request ?
do i need the java source ?
thanks
Dan

Extend the VO to add the criteria columns in the VO if the criteria are not part of query column. Use personalization to add the new columns on the search page.
There are many threads with similar issue discussed. Check them out.

Customizing the advanced search form (showing less parameters)

Hi,
can I customize the advanced search form in Portal, for
instance, to hide some parameters like "item attributes"
or "item types"?
I've read the thread at http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?
id=562712 where it shows how to write a custom advanced search,
but that requires some programming efort. are there any easier
alternative?
many thanks.

You could try to cpoy the HTML source of the advanced search
page, copy it in a HTML-portlet or dynamic page, and remove the
fields you don't want to show.
I had succes this way with the search portlet and add_groups
portlet, didn't try the advanced search page though.

Customization in Advanced Search Area.

Hi All,
There is a requirement in advanced search area of return orders.
Based on the transaction type selected, corresponding status values has to be populated.
Here im populating the transactio type values in the drop down list box and status value i have to populate in the value help/ drop down/ F4 application, but these status values should be populated based on the transaction type we have selected.
We are working on CRM 5.0 version, and i have done few things,here im listing out the steps.
1) For the Transaction type field i have enable the Roundtrip CS search option.
2) I have created a new ABAP structure for the transaction field(ZCS_Trans_Search).
3) I have appened this abap structure to the calling F4 application (Status F4 appln)
4) implementing the IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2FILL_F4_STRUCTURE and IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2CHECK ACTIVE_SHUFFLER methods, but still im not able to enter in to this methods in the debug mode.
These steps i have done with the ref to PCUI COOK BOOK 5.0 version, here im copying the steps given in PCUI 5.0
5.1.3.7 Context sensitive value help
The current complex value help is not fully context sensitive. It does not consider the information
the user has already entered on the screen, If it is present in different screen position or in different
line of a list than the field on which F4 is pressed. Thus, the value help often displays result set
which are not related in the current context. To make value help context sensitive following points
must be improved.
The complex value help must consider the entries of relevant fields on the calling
applications screen as search criteria.
The value help application should be enabled to set the value in the Search-Shuffler
depending on the current context.
The application should be enabled to dynamically disable the availability of the value help
icon for a field.
To implement this feature for any field in the field group following steps to be performed:
1. New field group customizing flag is added the by checking this enables context sensitive
search for a input field. Field group customizing is called Roundtrip CS Search.
<Include the figure>
2. Determine the fields to be transferred to the value help application from calling application
and create ABAP structure from this fields.This structure is called Context sensitive
screenstructure (CS structure). Assign this CS structure to the complex value help
application which is associated with the input field. This is done in:
Transaction crmc_blueprint
Open the node Application/Layout node
Edit the value help application
Enter the name of the structure in the filed Struct. For Context-Sensitive srch. Help
(F4_CS_STRUCTURE)
3. PC-UI FW takes the CS structure data from the calling application and defaults them in the
value help applications advance search screen structure. Include this CS structure to the
advanced screen structure of value help application to have the same fields of CS structure
and add the corresponding fields for the CS structure to field group of advance search.
4. Implement IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~FILL_F4_STRUCTURE in the calling
applications Model Access Class. In this method you fill the value in CS structure which will
be passed to the value help application.
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~FILL_F4_STRUCTURE
5. Implement / or enhance if already implemented
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~CHECK_ACTIVE_SHUFFLER in value help
applications MAC. This step is optional, With this you will be able to select the correct
shuffler based on the context sensitive data passed with new import parameters values to
this method.
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~ CHECK_ACTIVE_SHUFFLER.
Please do suggest me.. what are the things further i need to do..
REMEMBER: I have to do this implementation in the advance Search area.
Regards.
Anilkumar.

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to have more than 5 property filter in Advanced Search web part.
According to this article, it is one of the limitation in OOTB Advanced Search web part: "The property search doesn’t allow the users to specify more than 5 property filters." As workaround, "Reuse the OOTB Advanced Search UI’s hidden controls
that determines the search attributes (ASB_PS_…)". Please refer more information via:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/senthilkumarmani/archive/2010/06/05/custom-advanced-search-metadata-values-pre-populated-for-user-selection.aspx
Also, I find two articles about customizing the advanced search Webpart adding custom properties in case you need:

Advanced Search setup

Hello,
Could you please advice how to implement following logic:
I've modified advanced search web part (scopes, doc types and etc.).
In Miscellaneous I've put resulst URL of _layouts/OSSSearchResults.aspx.
I cannot modify this page, how to create result page from scratch?
Thanks,
Regards Azamat.

Hi Azamat,
As my understanding, you want to create a custom search result page for Advanced Search Box web part.
You can do as:
Create a page called search.aspx, add a Search Core Results web part into it.
Edit the page that host the Advanced Search Box web part, edit the web part.
Then in Miscellaneous, put the URL of search.aspx page.
There is a simialr blog, please take a look at:

PCUI Advanced Search Refresh / Trigger by Event

Hello,
I created an Advanced Search in the Case Management PCUI. But the search is only started when I change the selection in the shuffler drop-down list. I would like to add a refresh button that triggers the search again, starts a new query and updates the list, since new cases are automatically created by a workflow in the background. There is a REFRESH event, but the PCUI manuals says it should not be used. Any ideas?
thanks,
Jari

How can I make changes to the properties XML and keep multi language support for the Advanced Search Box?
I am wondering this as well. It doesn't look like there's a good way to translate Managed Properties in SP2013. So we have untranslated text for Refiners, result sort options, and Advanced Search properties.
It looks like site translation (resources file) should do this, but A) the option is only presented if Publishing is enabled, and B) it doesn't seem to be working anyway.
The best solution I can come up with is to translate everything dynamically using JavaScript. I'm sure there's a better way, but I haven't been able to find it.
