Displaying Search dropdowns (verticals) from search center

Hi Team,
I am trying to display dropdowns (verticals) in SP 2013 from search center which is in separate site collection in same web app. When I try to create vertical and provide URL of page in Search-Center, SP errors out. by default it is not picking the drop
down values from search center. Please help.

Sachin Chugh,

Hi Sachin,
As I understand, you would like to add custom search navigation to search center and reflect them to home site collection search box.
I found two articles for your reference:

  • Failed to display Search Center search results in target view

    Hi, we use Siebel eCommunications 7.8.2.5 SIA and client request a specific functionality related to Search Center.
    Current design of our functionality is the following: Upon pressing Search button in Search Center, scripting on BC Find Entry (Pre Invoke Method) is invoked. Behind the script there is integration flow triggered and several siebel row_id's are returned.
    The aim is to show all the records (based on row_id's returned) or in search result of a Search Center or directly in target view.
    In order to show results in target view we use GotoView instruction in "Find Applet" InvokeMethod script. We also provide for "GotoView" command a Business Object with query done (using for SetSearchSpec multiple Row_id's returned by integration flow).
    When we invoke the search, results are shown as expected in target view but Search Center frame became blank.
    So we need to either open the Search Center again (to show the Search Center instead of empty frame) or close it (this will close the empty frame).
    -- We have several Look In categories and only for one we need the functionality described above (for all others results should be displayed in Search Center). So solution to change "Target View Frame" parameter of the "Search" button to "_sweview" is not acceptible (it fixes the problem with empty frame but break the search functionality for other Look In categories).
    -- Also the solution to remove value from "Find Applet" "GotoView" User Property will not work. Same reason as in previous one - other search results should be displayed in Search Center not in a target view.
    -- We also tried to use scripting to close or reopen the search center:
    var svcSCS = TheApplication().GetService("Search Client Service");
    svcSCS.InvokeMethod("CloseSrchCenter",psInputs,psOutputs);     
    But there is no appropriate event to which this scripting could work out. When it is put after GotoView instruction in "Find Applet" it didn't work (also if it is put before GotoView). When it is put on Applet_Load or Applet_Query or Applet_PreQuery of a Target View top appplet it didn't work. When it is placed under Invoke Method (or Pre Invoke Method) of the top Applet on Target View (or also according BC) it works fine but in this case the method should be somehow called.
    -- Alternative is also the design where the search results are displayed in Search Center. But as we receive several Row Id's we had not found a way how to make a query on Find Object having multiple values of a same field.
    Could you please advice?

    Hi,
    I am facing exactly same problem. I could not close the search center window.
    Can you plz tell me, which event of the target applet you have written broser script?
    Plz let me know what you have written there as browser script to close the window.

  • Cannot open PDFs in browser in IE from Search Center

    [SYSTEM]
    SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, 2WFE, 2App, 1SQL
    [ISSUE]
    We have a problem with opening PDF files from search results in IE. I can open PDFs in the browser with Chrome and Firefox in all site collections as well as search results.  If using IE10, I can open PDFs in browser everywhere except
    the Search results page. Also, if I right click on a document in search results, and click "Open in new tab" or "Open in new window", then the pdf opens up in browser just fine. If I copy the URL and paste it into the address
    box, the document will also open in browser with no problem.
    The only way that the browser tries to open a pdf document in the client is when you click on the document directly in Search results. All other ways of opening the file yield the right result.
    We really need PDFs to open in browser in IE.  Please help. 
    [TROUBLESHOOTING DONE]
    I set the Web Application Browser File Handling to Permissive from Central Administration.
    I specified for files to open in the browser in Search Center preferences accessible from the bottom of the search results page.
    I verified that "application/pdf" is an AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType
    The Office Web Apps settings were modified to open PDFs in the default PDF reader rather than OWA.

  • Skill Search works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client

    My environment consists of Lync Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013.
    I configured skill search and it works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client. An error appears says"error occurred during the search, please try again".
    I configured these URLs in my client policy
    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/_vti_bin/search.asmx
    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchcenterinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/searchcenter/pages/peopleresults.aspx
    I checked these URLs from the browser and they work fine.
    I disabled anonymous access to _vti_bin, but no change then i checked lync log but i didn't find any error then i used Wireshark and found that when Lync client contacts Sharepoint, Sharepoint responded to it with internal server error http 500
    Please advice for what to do

  • Altavista will not display search results

    altavista us will not display search results. altavista canada works fine. On us site results will display in no style page but not in basic page style. The page comes up blank. This may have been caused by delta search. I think I have rid my computer of delta? Reloaded firefox. I use norton 360 and have run registry clean up and virus scans. Also cleaned explorer. In explorer the u.s. altavista works ok that is why I think it something to do with firefox and delta search showed up at the same time unwanted and forced a change on my home page. Have cleared computer of what delta files I could find my have something in the registry but I would not know what to look for or to do with. I am running xp

    In a round about way you solved my problem cor-el ! At the end of standard diagnostic there was mention of malware so I ran malwarebytes before running profile manager. malwarebytes found 21 items some in the registry. deleted these items and tried altavista us again and to my surprise it is working ok now.I thought norton 360 would catch such things but I guess it doesn't ! will keep and run a malware program from now on. thank you for your help.

  • Error in enterprise search center

    Hi,
    I have an enterprise search center which has suddenly stopped working. The error message did not say much so I created a new search page. When attempting to do a search I receive the error below. I've tried accessing the version history on those files
    to determine if I can restore to a working version but I am getting a report that the "server is busy". Any ideas of what I could do to fix this issue?

    Hi Sherazad,
    According  to your description, you have an enterprise search center which worked well before the error occurred.
    For  resolving your issue, you are able to run the command below with SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.

  • How to display search results in a table or in different columns

    Hi
                 How can i display search results in multiple columns or in a table so that the user can sort the results based on a particular property displayed in the search results.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Vidya

    Hello,
    To display search results in a table, in different columns or more... you should modify SearchResultLayoutSet.
    Create your own StandardSearchResultRenderer (exp My_StandardSearchResultRenderer) and add to SearchResultLayoutSet. Than change whatever you like to achive your aim.
    Thank you.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to display search results in content area

    Hi
                 How can I display search results in the content area as seen in sdn.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/frameset.htm you find the relevant guidelines.
    You can filter the PCD object setting the Search Layout Set of your Searc Iview.
    In System Admin > System Configuration > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set and duplicate the "SearchResultLayoutSet" layout set.
    Then you have to duplicate its Collection Renderer "StandardSearchResultRenderer".
    In its property "Resource Types to be Filtered" set as value "-http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/iview".
    Then assign the new Collection Renderer to the new Layout Set and that's it!
    Now if yuor Search Iview uses this new Layout Set, when you search a PCD object the iviews will not be shown!
    (or)
    In the entry "Predefined Properties" of the search options set, you will need to enter "resourcetype(value=http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/page/default)" if you want the search to be limited to resources defined as pages. Leave out /default if you dont want the end user to be able to change the filter.
    If you want the parameter reflected in the URL, you can find information about how to do it here: /message/280371#280371 [original link is broken]
    Check and try either ways.

  • I iPad 3 fails to recognize cellular data In a number of locations Displays "searching and No Service" I have narrowed this to device problem. What can I do?

    i iPad 3 fails to recognize cellular data In a number of locations Displays "searching and No Service" I have narrowed this to device problem. What can I do?

    Hello there, OSOSANYA.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklist of steps and additional recommendations for troubleshooting issues with cellular connection:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780
    Follow these steps for help troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Make sure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update: Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update: Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Data View properties doesn't contain a Miscellaneous - Display Search Box option

    When I create a List View via the web  and edit the web part I have a Miscellaneous - Display Search Box option.
    When I insert a Data View via SharePoint Designer 2013 I don't see that option.  Is there a work around?
    Thanks,
    Dwight

    Hi,
    I can reproduce the issue and there are seems no OOTB way to display the search box at this moment.
    A workaround is using JavaScript and query string to filter a list view and retrieve the values you want.

  • My iPad suddenly started displaying "Searching" up in the top left corner and now the ipad reboots itself after about 2-5 minutes.

    My iPad suddenly started displaying "searching" up in the top left corner of the screen and the wifi symbol is next to it and I am connected to the wifi. Prior to last weekend it used to display Verizon and everything was fine. After about 2-5 minutes the iPad suddenly reboots itself. Can anyone assist with this. Thank you

    Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
