Edit Quick Search portlet

You must customize the Quick Search portlet to change the display of the search results for a Quick Search or to add access to a specific search template through Advanced Search. Only an administrator with access to site preferences can configure the portlet. The display options for the Advanced Search results are determined by the user preference settings and the settings in the search template.

To set the display options for Quick Search results

  1. From the Pages view of My Workplace in Site Preferences, click Preview and Setup beneath the name of the appropriate page.
  2. Click Edit in the Quick Search portlet toolbar. The portlet displays in edit mode.
  3. If you want to add a search template, see the procedure that follows.
  4. Select the List View Style.
  5. Select the Version Option.
  6. Enter a value between 1 and 500 for the Max Results to return from the search. A large number can slow the search operation. You cannot retrieve more than 500 items from Quick Search. You can also change this setting from the primary view of the Quick Search portlet.
  7. Click Apply to save your settings; the portlet displays in normal mode.
