Oracle Text : type of the results.

Question

In v2, in the "custom search" portlet, I chose to display the results of "elements" type.
But it returns both elements and portlets. Portlets are not compulsory viewable if one clik on in in the result page.
How can I only return "true" elements (documents) and not portlets ?

These are two slightly different issues

How can I only return "true" elements (documents) and not portlets ? I am not too clear on what you are refering to when you say you chose to display the results of 'Elements' types.
If you wish a search to only return documents (in this sence i mean files) you can add the 'Base Item Type' attribute as search criteria and chose the 'File' value from the LOV. If you do not wish the end users of the search form to know you are restricting the search to just files you can hide this attribute and not display it on the submission form.
I have the same issue. the release 2 custom search portal has an option
to limit the result type to page. But, if I have a simple text item with some content containing the words
"jey is testing" and If I search for "jey" it doesn't return any pages. But, if I change the result type to
item it returns the item. I want to mimick a std web search where users search on content and get links to
pages with content.
pls help,
jey If you set a portlet to return 'Items' then the search will return the actual items which match the search terms as the search results.
If you set a portlet to return 'Pages' then the search will return any pages whose title, description etc which match the search terms not those pages whose content contains the search terms.
However you can customize the attributes displayed with search results to get the list similar to what you require. Set a results portlet to return items (as its the items which will match the search criteria) and select 'Page' and 'Blank Line' attributes as the 'Search Results Attributes'. When you perform a search the results will be a list of pages on which the search result items reside.
Note: The listed pages may not be distinct. If more that one item resides on the same page which match the search criteria, you will get multiple lines displaying the same page. This is because the search actually returns 2 hits and as you are just displaying the page name it will appear as if they are duplicate results. Therefore you may want to include the attribute 'Display Name' in order to clarify that these are different items on the same page.
