Help creating another km search iView

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to create a separate iView to perform searches only in a specific Index of TREX. Surfing trough SND I found this thread https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=325624 and this link

https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/howto/km/searchcomponents/Developing%20a%20Sear...

But I don’t think this will get me to what I want because as far as I could understand, that information allows me to customize the look and some features of the standard search. Meanwhile I need to create a new iView and indicate the Index of TREX that I want. I don’t know if I could archive this by configuration or I need to do some implementation. Any guideline would be appreciated.

Regards,

This is possible through configuration (rather than a development). I have several indexes running against different repositories on a EP7 installation (one UME, one KM repository).

One way of doing this by configuration is to create a 'search option set' under:

System Admin

System Configuration

Content Mangement

User Interface

Search

create a new search option set (or copy an existing one) and experiment with the field: 'Search Index IDs (csv) ' you can populate this, I believe with either one of multiple indexes.

Please reward points if you find this helpful

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your info it’s very good to know that this could be done without implementation, but I am still a little bit lost because even I do the new configuration of the 'search option set', what about the iView?, should I create a new one, duplicate the existing one and if that’s so, how do I redirect the new iView to the new configuration of the 'search option set'?

Hi Orlando,

see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ad/e3ce0fd4f011d5994400508b6b8b11/frameset.htm - you define the SearchOptionSet to be used as an iView parameter.

Hope it helps

Yes indeed, create a new iView (based on template) use the KM Search iView template. Once you have created the iView, open it up and enter your custom search option set into the the iview property 'Search Options Set'.Obviously having create your custom search option set first.
