Change Root Path for default browse folder - KM Search iView

[Former Member]

We have enabled the Search Scope Selection option for the default search iView in the Tool Area.  Therefore, when a user clicks the Advance Search link in the Tool Area, they can choose the index they wish to search or they can select a folder by browsing the KM folder structure.  When they click on the browse button, their initial folder is /root.  We would like to set the default browse folder to a lower-level folder, like /documents.

Does anyone know the best way to set the initial search folder for the default search iView?

That question was aswered in this post: http://scn.sap.com/thread/1283160

But, there must be someway to set the default browse folder to a lower-level folder, like /documents, some where.

Please any body that can help me.

Hi Dayana Maldonado,

Please restrict search scope to /documents.  You need to change "Default Search Scope:" to folders and set "Root Folders for Search (Scope = FOLDER) (csv):" to /documents.

Thanks Duncan.

But let me explain better. I need to limit the scope. when I clicking on the button "Browse", I don't want the users browse in "root/". I need that the user just can be browse in "document/" without remove their read permission for the other folders.

I want that the emergent window, point to "documents/" not to "root/".

Please help me.

Anyone.

Hi Dayana,

I've done a lot with search.  All my search tasks have been done by modifying standard configuration.  I checked http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/content.htm and tells me what "Enable Search Scope Selection" does, but it does not provide a way control what is displayed.  I suspect that you will have to do customer development.

Thank very much Duncan. You're right. But I don't know, What's development referenced by "KM Search iView", for its customizing. I think that must exist a application for customizing.

Anyone.

Please Helpme.
