Search Interface Configuration

Access at Administration > Search UX > Search Center (admin/interface/interface)

The following can and should be configured at this page

Search Verticals

Search Verticals (for a definition see Search Experience and Query Pipelines ). You can add, remove and reorder search verticals in this dialog.

Please note that the Wizard at Configuration Template Wizard adds new verticals but never overrides existing ones.

Vertical Configuration

Each vertical comes with the configuration values for

  1. Path: on which URL the vertical can be accessed. Please make sure that the path is unique and below the search interface base url.
    The path /admin cannot be overridden.

  2. Title: the display name of the vertical

Result Lists

You can add as many result lists, as you like to the vertical. But please make sure that only is not a result block (see below). Here you can also reorder or remove result lists.

Result List Configuration

Each result list has the following configuration values

  1. Title: the title of the result list

  2. Enable result list: result lists can be disabled. This will not be shown and no search queries are sent to the backend

  3. Query pipeline: here you need to decide which query pipeline (see Query Pipelines ) the result list uses to fetch results and answers

  4. Use as result block: determines if this is a main result list or a result block. A result block comes without title, without paging and without filters.

  5. Show result count

  6. Result template to render results: this determines how the results are rendered. Please choose a template depending on the data and if this is a result block or not

  7. Additional rendering hints: not used right now

  8. Show hit count

  9. Add more link: not used right now

  10. Page size: determines how many results are shown.

Result Sorting

Allows for adding sorting to results.

Not implemented right now

Each sort options comes with a field name and an optional sort order.

Filters

Here you can add the filters which should be shown in the interface.

Each filter comes with

  1. Fieldname - this is the name of the field as provided after the query pipeline and result transformation

  2. Title - the name which is shown above the filter

  3. Number of values to show - determines how many filter values are shown while being collapsed
