Predefined properties in advanced search

Hello Experts,
We have recently upgraded to SP18 from SP13
I have created new Predefined Property called watercorp_reviewdate
I wanted to make this field available in the Advanced Search Functionality in the list of 'Filter by Predefined Properties'.
I did the followings
1) Went to: System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Search -> Search Option Set
2) Edited UISearch
3) Selected watercorp_reviewdate property from the list beside the option 'Allowed Predefined Properties' and hit save.
But, On 'Advanced Search' the property watercorp_reviewdate
in not listed under 'Filter by Predefined Properties'.
Does anyone has any clue?

Hi Sabbir,
please make sure of the following:
1. Property is marked as indexable in the KM configuration (Property Metadata). This flag is not set by default.
2. You have indexed documents that have already a value for this property. You can use the TREX Monitor - Index Details to check that.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Displaying Predefined properties in a Search iView

Hi,
I have created a Search iView with a Show Options link. Now, when the user clicks on Show Options, I need a "Industry" property to appear with check boxes next to it. I have created the Search Component Set and Options Set. In the Search Options set, I have checked "Enable Predefined Properties" and in "Predefined Properties", I have specified "Industry". I did create the "Industry" property and have checked "Multi-Valued" and for "Allowed Values", I have specified Banking, Retail. However, when I click on "Show Options", I see "Industry" and a text box next to it. Is there something else which needs to be done? Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for all your valuable time and effort.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi Sri,
what's the type of your property?
What's your Release?
How does your property appear in 'Details -> Properties'?

In Advanced Search Web Part , more than 5 properties filter cannot be added

In SharePoint 2013 Advanced Search Web Part, Under Add Property restrictions, Maximum number of search filter (AND / OR) is allowed is 5. How can I increase this count ?

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:

Predefined properties not shown in Search

Hello!
Ive done the following:
Created a set of predefined properties with the Indexable property set.
Created a new Search Option Set, where Ive put the list of all my Predefined properties in the Predefined Properties (csv) field.
In the list of Allowed predefined properties Ive added all my Predefined properties.
And now what I expect from this setup:
A. The search option dialog should display all my predefined properties with the appropriate fields,
B. In the listbox with Predefined properties I expect to see all my predefined properties.
And now what I actually get (and that is my problem):
A. The search option dialog is displaying all my predefined properties with the appropriate fields so that is as I expected.
B. The listbox is only showing some of my predefined properties.
Ive checked and double checked that all predefined properties are set to Indexable.
So.... Any suggestions??
Regards,
HC.

Folder's predefined properties and search

Hi Kmers,
just an easy and quick question for you.
I have a folder with some predefined properties assigned. This folder contains some resources. For example
aFolder (with property1=a and property2=b). It contains resources:
House.pdf, apple.doc (without properties assigned)
If I use standard search iview using Ho* as search string and use "a" as value of property1, does TREX give me House.pdf?
If no, do I need to set property1=a and property2=b to all folder's resoruces?
Any help would be precious
Thanks a lot
Ciao
Roberto

Hi Karsten, hi Roberto,
even if I'm not sure about the answer, I think I can explain the question
No, the documents within the folder do <i>not</i> have the property1. The question is, if the search will return house.pdf even if it has not the property1 set but if it is contained in a folder with this property.
Hope this clarifies the question

Create advanced search page using crawled properties?

When editing an advanced search web part, is it possible to use crawled properties to help filter a search?
Or is the only option to use managed properties?

Predefined properties BOX don't appear in search option

Hi all,
I'm working with portal 7.00 SP11
I have a problem with 'Predefined properties' search option wich don't appear in the search option .
I have modifed the 'UISearchComponents' to add 'search_predefined_props' in 'Component for Basic Search Function'.
I have created properties and documents with this properties. (correctly with 'how to configure the search UI..04/2007)
In my development portal, all works fine : I have the 'predefined properties box' wich is displayed in my search iview.
But, in my production portal......that doen't work........ and I have transported all modification from DEv sytem to PRD system.
I have read note 872061, and all is installed correctly.
I have search on sdn forum, but any thread with this problem.
Very strange ...
Do you have a suggestion for me?
Thanks
Martine

Hi Martine,
If you have done everything correctly and if it is working on your DEV system but not on your PROD, then it will be very hard to analyze this remotely...
Anyhow, sometimes the ConfigFramework has it's problems with online changes, so at least one try would be a simple restart of the portal server.
Hope it helps

Functionality loss when 'Using Query Bind Variables in Advanced Search

Regarding: 'Using Query Bind Variables in Quick or Advanced Search'
The functionality to do the following is lost when I use bind variables in the Advanced Search:
"Result matches all conditions"
"Result matches any condition"
"Case Sensitive?"
Is there a way to Search with Detail groups but to keep the above functionality?

Hi,
Your application module impl java class extends the JHeadstart class JhsApplicationModuleImpl. THe latter declares a method:
public void advancedSearch(String viewObjectUsage,java.util.ArrayList arguments,Boolean allConditionsMet).
In your application module impl java override the advancedSearch method where you can include your own custom code before invoking the super method:
super.advancedSearch(viewObjectUsage,arguments,allConditionsMet);
The 'arguments' parameter is an arraylist of QueryCondition objects. You can set several properties for QueryCondition objects such as case-sensitity, operators etc.

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.

Advanced search web part issue

hi,
i am implementing a advanced search web part , and in that property restrictions, i have added 2 doument library columns [ not the site columns ]
from my subsite in my site collection.
but when i give some search keywords and perform search, i am not able to get the search results in terms of documents/content.
any extra settings do i need to do for performing advanced search
1) Do i really need site columns to be created under the site collection , in order to be searchable ?
if i create a simple document library column and cant i get it in the crawled properties section
in the central admin's search serv appln's search schema section?
pls advice

As per my understanding you can crawl DL columns
Can you get that document in search results page? Please check to see if the site which contains the library is included in content source.
Could you please check site settings->Site Administration->Searchable columns, maybe the column is excluded?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b97a43b1-c727-4daa-a0d9-a18e53e09dd9/list-and-document-library-title-column-crawled-properties?forum=sharepointadminprevious
Go to your Search Service Application in Central Administration.
Click on Metadata Properties in the left navigation.
Click on the Crawled Properties link.
Click on the Categories link then select the SharePoint category
Navigate the pages (next page arrow link) until you see ows_Title. Click on ows_Title.
In the "Mappings to Metadata Properties" area of this page, ensure that the "Include values for this property in the search index" checkbox is checked, then Click OK. This checkbox is not checked by default.
Repeat the same procedure above for your ows_Description crawled property to confirm that it is included in the index - which it should be by default.
Start a Full Crawl
This will now include these crawled properties in the index and should now be available in the Managed Property which exposes them for Search.

KM folders as drop-down on advanced search

HI All,
When user hits the advanced search option, there is option of restricting search to folders and sub-folders.
This is available in the folder structure. How can this be made to appear on a drop-down option. The user wants to have it in the same way as the sdn search options wherein the search can be restricted based on the dropdown of category/folders.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
This is what SDN Advanced Search provides.
Next to the Search term, it provides the option to select an index as a Dropdown choice. Below the search bar, it gives an option to filter the search result through a set of defined filter values like Product etc. This means that the content has been Meta Data tagged for the values represented by the check boxes.
If you select a checkbox, then the result set displayed to you will be filtered according to that.
What you basically need to do, is to define multiple indexes according to your needs and then define meta data properties which are assigned to each document / folder. This way you can achieve what you need.
I hope this helps, if it does, then please award points in SDN.
cheers,
Shantanu

Who is Who - dropdown list for fields in the advance search

Hello:
In the advance search of the Who is Who service, we have the Organization Unit and Cost Center as searching fields.
We can't be able to see the dropdown list for these 2 fields from the Portal.
Do anyone have any idea of what configuration is missing?
Thanks.

open Outlook
go to Tools -> Forms -> Design Form -> select Message then right click on 'To' textbox and chose Advance Properties it has a field 'Name' that name can be used for reference in your development.
hope this helps you.

Advanced Search: Viewing Results Issue

This problem seems to only be on my Microsoft Surface Pro tablets with windows 8.1.
When doing an advanced search within a document the results box is usually very large and you can see all the hits that came back. However, on my Surface when doing a search the results box is so small that you can't even see what's showing up.
I've tried to enlarge the search box which slightly helps but still can only see one or two results at a time and must continue to use the scroll bar to get through them.
I was curious if there was any options within Adobe that could be changed in order to get this view changed so its more user friendly and easier to work with?
I've been through many of the options myself but was unable to find anything that worked.
Thanks for the help.

Hide "search" in EP (the button and Advanced Search link)

Hi,
I need to hide field "search" (where button "Search" and "Advanced Search" link, after portal header).
How to do it or where can I manage this settings?
thanks.

Hi,
If you need to remove the search view from the Portal page then you can do the following.
Go to Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users
In this select the Default Framework page , open it.
Select the Tool Area and click on properties.
In the properties change the value to NO for Enable KM Search & Enable KM Search Advanced properties.
This is the simplest way you can remove the whole search area.
*There is one more way to remove the search *
If you want to remove the whole search, you can achieve this just by changing the com.sap.portal.toolAreaiView property "Enable KM Search". Just set the Property to NO.
If you want to remove only the search Button you have to edit the file "ToolAreaiView.jsp" from the PAR-File com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par. Copy this file under your own namespace, unpack and remove the line:
<td nowrap> <%=searchButtonTextStr%> </td>
from the jsp-file. Redeploy this par file, create a new toolAreaiView based on the portal component in the PAR and integrate this iView in your frameworkpage.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to do this using the Theme Editor.

Nikhil

@Fabian: i am not getting your point.Can you pls tell,where will I see the xsl. i think, the xsl editor and xsl configuration has been replaced by html display templates in SP 2013 Search.
