EP Search Result modification

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am currently on EP6 SP 14.

I have created a KM iView that will search for the indexes I have. When the search results come back, I would like to

1) hide the "See also" and "Details" link

2) keep the result page in the content area instead of pop up a new window when clicking on the result.

How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Through customizing the par file only u can do this. You have a openSearch() java script method in the par file, inside that you have,

window.open( searchURL, "_blank");

change this to,

window.open( searchURL, "_self");

Then the result will display in the content area instead of pop up a new window.

Thanks all, it's very helpful.

But is there really no way to make the result page stay on the same screen (content area) with a setting change in the layout set instead of a code change? I would like to show the result this way only for one of the index I used (it's in a separate iView), so my search on the Tool Area will still behaves as default.

If editing the par file is my only choice, would you please tell me which par file I can find this javascript function is in? Thanks

I think you need to edit par file

com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par .

See below thread for more information

Hi Michael,

You can find the java script function in this par file, com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par

Thanks Koti and Kalaivani,

But I'm not using the search box in the tool area, I'm using a KM iView to do the search. When I view the source of my result, the link was not pointing to the openSearch function in the javascript. So I guess I should be looking for another par file. Do you guys happen to know which par file it is for making changes to the KM iView?

Thanks again

Hi Lee,

1) By changing the layout set u can modify the search results page

Got Sys Admin->sys config->Knowledge Management->content Management->user interface->settings->layout set->search for SEARCH RESULT LAYOUT SET select that and click advanced copy

in the add property give some name(eg:my)

(here u r actually creating a new layout set rather than changing the standard one so the new one is created as My_SEARCH RESULT LAYOUT SET)

after giving the name click priview results u could find some properties there u can uncheck SEE ALSO & DETAILS and whatever the properties u need after finishing click execute.

now goto content Admin->portal content-> open ur Framework page ->select Tool Area and click properties

there u could find the property KM search Parameters in that u could find the layout set there give the name of the layout set u have created,in the place of the standard one.

Regrds,

Tilak.
