Custom Search Results
For the fully built CAB and source files, the Visual Studio Project directory, please go here.
- Extract the files to your machine.
- Drill down through the "/Deploy/Debug" directory and there you will find the built CAB.
- Modify the BAT file and run it or if you are familiar with the STSADM utility, just install the CAB
To see the enhanced results in your portal, follow the instructions from my previous thread http://blogs.msdn.com/nigelbridport/archive/2004/10/27/248439.aspx
But basically:
- http://<SPSserver>/search.aspx?mode=edit&PageView=Shared on the portal you want to effect
- Browse through your Virtual Server catalog looking for Search Override web part
- Drag it to just below the default Search Results web part
- Close the default Search Results web part (otherwise you will get two sets of results
- Go back to your Portals home page and do a search.
That's it!
I would be really interested to hear if this works for you and if you make any modifications to it, what they are so I can get a sense of what you think is missing from the out-of-the-box results.
