Need search results Return only Pages

I have a client with the following scenario. He has SharePoint 2013 with a 2010 web application/site collection with custom branding, which means NO visual upgrade.
The requirement is have search only return pages, as this is a public facing site. But how do i do that?
If it was Sp2010 i would use a scope but there is no way to use a scope with 2013.
WIth 2013 i would create a custom query rule but since the site is 2010 mode, the search parts are looking for scopes.
Please Help.

You can create results sources on Search Service application and that can be used by All site collections in web applications that consume the Search service application.

Search Result contains only Pages/Attachments

Dear All,
We are using 10g portal. When we search some keywords using simple/custom/advanced search.
Are there any setting that the result just limit to pages/attachments??
As if I use "Custom" search, I can only limit to search either "Page only" or "Item" only, which can not fulfill our requirement.
Pls HELP!!
Regards,
Calvin

In your steps (testcase) do not select the option 'this portlet' under 'Where should the search results be displayed?' for 'My Search Result' page.Let it be the default one - 'Default Search Results Page (Default when displaying a search form)'. This should work.
Regarding your second question, it is possible to have two search form and two search results associated 1-1 . Follow the same steps as mentioned above.

Need Adds on to highlight or select several(next) pages in search result on current page?

Do you mean this: you would select a bunch of links with your mouse, then right-click and choose something like "open all these links in new tabs"?
There are extensions like that. Here are a few examples, but since I don't use them myself, I don't recommend any particular one. You can check the reviews and try the one(s) that sounds good to you:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/multi-links/ Multi Links]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/selection-links/ Selection Links]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/SnapLinksPlus/ Snap Links Plus]
If you already have one of those but it stopped working, make sure you have the latest version. You can check for updates to your extensions here:

Any luck?

How to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text

Hello All,
I am running an oracle text search which returned the following error to my java program.
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
#### ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:169)
When i looked up the net, one suggestion that was given is to narrow the wildcard query, which i cannot in my search page. Hence I am left with the only alternative of limiting the number of results returned by oracle text search query.
Please let me know how to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text so that this error can be avoided.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If not set explicitly, the default value for WILDCARD_MAXTERMS is 5000. This is set as a wordlist preference. This means that if your wildcard query matches more than 5000 terms the message is returned. Exceeding that would give the user a lot to sift through.
My suggestion: trap the error and return a meaningful message to the user indicating that the search needs to be refined. Although it is possible to increase the number of terms before hitting maxterms (increase wildcard_maxterms preference value for your wordlist), 5000 records is generally too much for a user to deal with anyway. The search is not a good one since it is not restricting rows adequately. If it happens frequently, get the query log and see the terms that are being searched that generate this message. It may be necessary to add one or more words to a stoplist if they are too generic.
Example: The word mortgage might be a great search term for a local business directory. It might be a terrible search term for a national directory of mortgage lenders though (since 99% of them have the term in their name). In the case of the national directory, that term would be a candidate for inclusion in the stoplist.
Also remember that full terms do not need a wildcard. Search for "car %" is not necessary and will give you the error you mentioned. A search for "car" will yield the results you need even if it is only part of a bigger sentence because everything is based on the token. You may already know all of this, but without an example query I figured I'd mention it to be sure.
As for limiting the results - the best way to do that is to allow the user to limit the results through their query. This will ensure accurate and more meaningful results for them.

Verity search results return application.cfm

We've got a couple of sites using verity collections to
search cfml, html, and some mime documents. This is generally
successful. However, we do see coldfusion script-only pages
returning in the search results, including application.cfm, and
other cfm pages that do not display content to the end-user. Since
there is no HTML renderable content in these pages, why do they get
included in the results?
How can I control this behavior? I've looked at the verity
documentation, and am trying to use the mkvdk utility to delete
application.cfm from the collection documents, but am getting an
error. If I can get the syntax down correctly, is this the proper
way of addressing the problem?
For instance, I am using the command string:
mkvdk -delete -collection
C:\CFusionMX\verity\collections\intranet\file application.cfm
on my local development machine to try and test this, but get
an error BadKeys: application.cfm
I don't understand why these types of files get included in
the collection in the first place. Oh, we are running CFMX6.1.
Thanks for any help.
Kris

The issue is not how to remove all CFM files from the
collection. We just want CFM files that do not output anything to
the user to be excluded from the search index. Most of the files in
this site are CFM files. Most importantly would be application.cfm,
form action pages, and other included files.
Certainly we could parse the results for a filename in a
predefined list, but we are trying to avoid defining this
programmatically; thinking that it is odd that these files get
included in the results at all. In the past we have segmented sites
using .cfm and .cfml as a way of excluding specific files from the
index (in the collection definition, we would not include the
specific extension as required). But this site has been in
production for some time, and is just now adding a search feature.
We don't want to rename files, and have to recheck every single
page and link in the entire site.
Does that explain what we're trying to do better?
Cheers,
Kris

Search result persisted on page

Hi,
i have created one search page for searching according to given criteria.
on this page user can select the criteria and perform the search.
all the functionality is currentely works fine.
but, i have one problem..
when i navigate on another pages in my application and come back on search page by clicking the link of search page.
it displays me the criteria and search result which user searched last.
why this is done ???
instead of this i require a fresh search page with no criteria and no any search result.
how do i achive this ??
please help...

hi yshintre,
Sorry I was away few days. Did you solve your problem?
>as you mentioned in your example getServiceVo()... actually what is that ?
This is only a sample code. Here "getServiceVo()" is the method to access my Service VO in the AMImpl. When you add a VO in your AM (under the Data Model), you can find auto generated methods in the AMImpl class to access that VO instance.
how could i get the object of ViewObjectImpl ?
how can i access my VO in my Bean ?"ViewObjectImpl" is available in your AMImpl class.
Off-cause you can access VO in the bean but best way here is to write your reset method in AMImpl and call from your Bean through bindings.
Thanks,
Prasad.

plz give me some logic for these req..
regards,
sam

This has been asked several times in the past couple of months. Search for "Paging" on these forums. Example:
JSTL or plain Java - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=539250
Struts - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=536490&forum=45
And others suggest grabbing only the number of records from the DB that you will display.

Verity search results across multiple pages

Hi, I am attempting to implement verity search on my website and am using the code below for the search, and search results page.
Currently the results are limited to 5 as specified by the maxrows command. How can I implement a forward and back feature across multiple pages? (like google search results)
Search:
<cfparam name="form.params" default="">
<cfparam name="target" default="searchVerity">
<cfoutput>
<form method="post" action="results1.cfm">
<p>
Enter your search term(s) using AND, OR, NOT and parens.
Surround an exact phrase with quotes.
</p>
<input type="text" name="params" size="75" value="#form.params#">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
</cfoutput>
Result Page:
<cfparam name="form.params" default="">
<cfparam name="target" default="searchVerity">
<cfsearch
name="foundResults"
collection="search"
criteria="#form.params#"
contextPassages = "1"
contextBytes = "300"
maxrows = "5">
<hr />
<h3>Search Results</h3>
This search returned a total of <cfoutput>#foundResults.recordCount#
    </cfoutput> results.
<cfoutput query="foundResults">
<hr />
<p>
File: <a href="#foundResults.URL#" target="_blank">#
    foundResults.title#</a> (score=#foundResults.score
    #)<br />
Highlighted Summary: #foundResults.context#
</p>
</cfoutput>

Hi All,
Has anyone tried to implement the jsptags in Servlets?
I am using Servlets and required a Search display like this. I have my results being retrieved from a class and I am trying to display these results in a table format.
i.e.
Customer c = new Customer();
c.retrieveCustomers();
then i iterate through the customers
while(c.next){

Why won't search results display one page at a time?

Search result pages using google automatically load so i can never get to options at the bottom of a page.
Driving me nuts! Just want to load 1 page at a time!!!

Some extensions have this feature, e.g., AutoPager. Can you check your extensions on the following tab for any that seem to imply that they make using Firefox faster or more automatic and try their Options button to see whether you can turn off this feature?

Dynamic Search/Results on same page - HELP!

Here is my situation; any help will be GREATLY
appreciated!!!!!
- I have dynamic content using PHP/MySQL
- I am attempting to create a record insertion page
- within this page, I need the ability to querry the
database and display the results on the same page and then use the
results as a part of the record insertion/creation.
So - I have many students, who are assigned a unique student
number and I am creating a reservation system. The person entering
the reservation will enter in the student id (as opposed to their
name) and hit a 'find' button and the result, if found, will be
displayed in a dynamic text field. Then, they fill out the rest of
the info and submit the reservation which gets stored into the
database.
I have played around for a few hours now because I have no
idea how to do this and have just been using trial and error. Can
anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
Thanks a bunch!!!
Mav

I agree, this approach does not seem secure.
Seems like I could keep trying different ID's until I found
one and then
enter reservations under someone else's name and cause havoc
on the system.

How to Highlight google search results in web pages??

I try to find out why it isn't possible to get safari to highlight the search words in the webpages that are found after using the build in google search box.
I spend a lot of time working trough the pages where the words are that I want to find in those (sometimes long) texts
Does anybody have a solution that works automatically?
I am trying "sitehilite" but that requires to enter the searcht words again... Double work...
Rob

Thanks for the warm welcome...
I posted this after searching the net and getting frustrated... :O)
ctrl+f works okay but requires extra "work"/input
I would like to get the highlighting automatically after entering the search terms in google box, performing the quiery and klicking on the page I would like to see.
a sort of permanent "on" of ctrl+f .....:O)

Jump directly to search-result details if only one (1) hit

I have a report where the user can limit the number of records shown via a couple of text fields. (do a search so to speak)
In the report the user can click a link and see details for the given record.
My customer would like the users to be taken directly to the details if the users search results in only one record.
Has anyone done something similar ?
best regards
Christian

This would be a way to do it:
Say you have three pages:
Page 1 - Search page (where you enter your search criteria and click a "Search" button)
Page 2 - Search results page (lists multiple found records and has drill-down links to view details of any particular record)
Page 3 - Record details page (shows details for just one record. This would be the page you are taken to when you drill down into a particular record from Page 2.)
On Page 1 have an After Submit PL/SQL Process looking something like this:
DECLARE
recordCount number;
uniqueRecordId number;
BEGIN
select count(*) into recordCount from your_table where some_column = :P1_YOUR_SEARCH_CRITERIA_ITEM and some_other_column = :P1_YOUR_SECOND_SEARCH_CRITERIA_ITEM);
if recordCount = 1 then
select ID into uniqueRecordId from your_table where some_column = :P1_YOUR_SEARCH_CRITERIA_ITEM and some_other_column = :P1_YOUR_SECOND_SEARCH_CRITERIA_ITEM;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':3:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P3_ID:'||uniqueRecordId);
else
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':2:'||:APP_SESSION);
end if;
END;
So if only one record is matched then you are automatically taken to Page 3 where the details of this one record can be shown (and you know which record to display as its ID has been passed in :P3_ID.) If more than one record (or zero records) are returned then you are taken to the search results page (Page 2) where your search results can be displayed as normal.
Hope that's of some help,
Andrew

LDAP Search returns only 1200 records

Hi,
Two possible reasons:
1. The size of the search results returned would have been controlled by the directory services administrator (Cross- check with the dir. services administrative options.
2. Have you set the size limit programatically... using SearchControls.setSizeLimit(...) you should be using
SearchControls.setSizeLimit(0) which returns all the results.
Hope this hleps,

How to display the search result without reloading the whole page

HI,
I have separate fragments for Search Box to enter keyword and Search Result to display the result. Also I have different sections within the page to put these fragments. So how could I display the results without reloading the whole page.
Also if I have next button in my search result area, how could I display the search results in next page without reloading all other sections present in our page. Please let me know if any service or idoc function present such that result could be shown in search result section without reloading whole page.
Please let me know how to restrict page reload for every action within a page.
Thanks,
Ramesh

This is default behaviour of the template of your space. You can create a new page template and than you can create a region for the search results.
Or you can create a custom taskflow were you use the webcenter taskflows to search for the space.
Take a look at this white paper:
Extending webcenter spaces: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_extend_spaces_wp.pdf
and this one:

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Partha
