How to change the view of the basic search portlet

Hi,
I want to change the view of the basic search portlet. To be more precise, I just want a text box and a Go button in it. Cananybody advise on how to do this?
Regards,
Priya

Indeed the 'Basic Search Box' item is what you want to use. You can choose what label you want or an icon if desired.
As mentioned in a previous reply, you need to edit the properties of the Page Group where you want to add the item and add the 'Basic Search box' to the list of available items that a user can add to the page group.
Navigator -> Properties (for the desired page group) -> Configure Tab -> Edit link in the 'Content Type and Classification' section -> Item Types section add the 'Basic Search Box'.
Now in a page in that page group, add an item, and from the list of 'Built-In Navigation Item Types' you will see the 'Basic Search Box'.

Federated Searches from the Basic Search Box

Is there a way to have the portal's basic search facility perform a federated search without having to visit the federated search page? We would like our users to be able to search any location from the simple search box.

Customizing the Bridge Search Interface

I've created a custom MetaData Schema and custom FileInfo panel for my CS4 applications.
Now, I'd like to customize the bridge search interface. Currently, the search interface shows EXIF metadata types as searchable. I'd like to add my own, and remove the EXIF.
After reading the Adobe Bridge CS4 Javascript Guide, I believe that I can do what I want by creating a whole new script driven search window. It seems like it should be much easier than that to modify the Search interface directly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

My suggestion would be to post in the Bridge Scripting forum:

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.

Customizing the advacne search option

Hello Everyone,
I am making the application in which I want to customize the code such that there should be no columns present when we are starting the advance search.

Can you explain your use-case further.
When you mention there should be no columns present, do you mean that the table should not be displayed or are you mentioning that no criteria items should be displayed. If you are referring to criteria items, then by default 4 criteria rows will be displayed (if there are 4 or more criteria items) and this cannot be personalized.

Basic Search not working in 9iAS release 2

gurus,
the basic search is not working in 9iAS Release 2.
i created few items in the portal and searched for values in basic search ... it did not return any search results ... i checked the search settings and found the Drop Index button ... thus i assumed that the indexes are created .... is there something wrong here ...?
also, the client wants the search to return in a custom page .... how would i achieve that .... is there an api that i could call in form action and render the search output in my custom page ....?
any help would be appreciated ...
thanx

Have you run the job to update the indexes? Please refer to the Configuration Guide for instructions on synchronizing the indexes with your content.
The default Search Results page is defined in the Global Settings, under the Administration tab on the Builder page. Any page can be used for search results, as long as it contains the Custom Search portlet.

Basic Search Portlet

Hi
We are using the basic search portlet as the search engine within the MOHE portal page. When we search for any word which exists in a clipped html file it returns nothing.
Regards
Mohamed Hammed

Hi Mohamed,
I am not sure it would work....here's why -
If you consider the archtitecture of a WebClipping Portlet, the "definition" ( basically, the MetaData) is constant / static for every instance. However, the content generated by the WebClipping Portlet - i.e, the "clipping" - is dynamic & occurs at runtime. Hence, every WebClipping Portlet "Instance" generates it's own content - however, the Basic Search Portlet can't search the content generated by this instance.
I hope I was able to articulate that to a resonably good degree. Well, a suggestion that I can think of is to develop a custom search Portlet - something that could search the HTML text after all the Portlets have been rendered. I guess you can try with a Java Servlet....

Sandeep

How to use p_mainsearch parameter in basic search for a report with bind variable?

Hello,
I'd like to extend the basic-search in content-area elements to extra records in my own tables.
So I'd like to use the p_mainsearch-urlparameter (which holds the searchtext of a basic search) into a bind variable of my own report. My report will be on an extra tab on the search-page.
Especially I don't know how to transfer the value of p_mainsearch into the bind variable of the report.
Has anyone done that so far?
Example?
Thank you,
Joerg

I found out the following way:
1.)Report
1.1)SQL-Query:
select * from <owner>.<tablename> where UPPER(column) like '%'||UPPER(NVL(:searchtext,'abczyx123098'))||'%'
(Note: bind variable is :searchtext).
1.2)in "before displaying page"-section in "additional plsql" add the following:
if length(get_value('p_mainsearch')) >= 3 then
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.searchtext,
portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('p_mainsearch')));
end if;
1.3) publish as portlet
2.) Integrate the report-portlet into a new tab on search page. Run basic search.
Change to the tab with the portlet.
For me it is solved.
Joerg.

Basic Search portlet returns error when Display in New Browser Window set

Ora AS Portal 10G release 2 (10.1.2.x)
Have a region of type Portlets.
The enable users to include content in this region is enabled.
I added a Basic Search Portlet in this region.
Basic search works fine if launched from current area, however if change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window, then
basic search portlet opens in new browzer window but returns error "Error: You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)"
The Basic search portlet in the new window contains a link to advanced search. If use advanced search, results are returned.
to test further, I added a advanced search portlet to this region, also with the display option to display item in a new window. In this case, the same error is obtained when doing a search.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any solutions?
Thks in advance.
Paulo

Hi,
Can you clarify what you mean by "change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window"?
Are you referring to Edit Region > Attributes tab ? Which of the Available Attributes did you select?
Thanks,
Chris

Basic Search Not working

Hi,
I'm playing around with the Basic Search Tutorial in the
Dreamweaver CS23 Help files and i cannot seem to get it to work,
even though I'm following it step by step.
When I type in a word, that does exist the search Results
page opens but the page is blank except for ht Dynamic table
Headers.
I'm specifying the GET function, but I have also tried Post
but the same outcome.
Testing the Recordset in the Search results page works fine.
Anyone any hints here please?

Figured it out. The Help files were misiing several key
steps. I used a URL Variable to the mix and now the search
works

Basic Search Item javascript error

When I use the Basic Search Item to submit a search, I get a Javascript error:
Error: 'document.mysearchform.p_looplink' is null or not an object
Examining the page HTML shows that submitting the serach runs this function
function fetch() {
var purl;
purl = location.href;
document.mysearchform.p_looplink.value = purl;
document.mysearchform.submit;
but the form mysearchform doesn't have a field called p_looplink
The form fields are
INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ms" SIZE="15" MAXLENGTH="30"
INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Go"
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="pg" VALUE="33"
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="search_type" VALUE="Simple"
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ll" VALUE=""
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="p_action" VALUE="SUBMIT"
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="_dad" VALUE="portal"
INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="_schema" VALUE="PORTAL"
This bug only appears when you have your browser set to report all Javascript errors - it doesn't prevent the search from working.
Any ideas about what's going on here?
Does the basic Search Item (not the portlet) work properly for anyone else?
Rob

hi rob,
this problem is reported in bug 3801639. it is fixed in portal 10.1.2.

Basic Search & Advanced search in IdM

Hi Experts,
I was searching for one user on IdM UI, and I found that the basic search was not working (I only filled the Unique ID= userXYZ), but when I search for this userXYZ under advanced search, the user was found correctly.
Did you get this behavior in your system, I mean the Basic search in not showing the same results as the Advanced?
I am using IdM 7.2 SP7.
Thank you very much for your comment,
Victoria

Hi Matt,
The basic search work fine for other users.
The problem here is that Basic Search can not find my inactive userXYZ only by entering his ID but when I choose Advanced Search and Inactive checkbox now I can find my inactive userXYZ.
So why this inactive user can be shown only by using the combination of Advanced + Inactive checkbox ?
Many thanks,
Victoria

Basic Search Isn't Finding Keyword Metadata

I have a basic search box on my home page. I have a page located in the same page group that has a search word in it for testing. When I input that word into the basic search box, it doesn't find that page. I have Oracle Text enabled in my portal so a basic search box should be able to find text not only in the keyword field but anywhere on the page. Does anyone have any idea why it is not finding it?

Hi,
Have you figured this out yet? I'm having the same problem with the 'basic search item" that i have on all my pages. I doesn't return any item results,..only page results.

Basic Search: JSP?

Hi,
i have a small question about the Basic Search iview.
How is this build up, I can't seem to find any JSP page inside the par file.
I know about the methods to change the result list etc, but i just need to change the layout of the whole page (adding images and stuff).
Is this possible?
kind regards,
Stephie

Hi Deman,
to implement an own search interface you can use the provided concept of search components. By implementing your own developed search components you can easily integrate images and other things in the search interface.
Have a look at this article with code examples by Thilo Brandt: <a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/howto/km/searchcomponents/Developing%20a%20Search%20Component%20for%20KM%20Search%20iView.html">Developing a Search Component for KM Search iView</a>.
Hope this helps,
Robert
