public interface GsExpressionSearchControl<T extends ContentBase>
extends ExpressionSearchControl<T>

This control is used to generate and execute portal Expression-based searches. It will search content in the GroupSpace repository only. Ise the CmExpressionSearchControl to search other BEA repositories. Use the ExpressionBuilder to construct expressions.

Instantiate the control in a page flow as follows:

// Expression search control across the GroupSpace repository, not typed, not annotated
@Control
GsExpressionSearchControlBean gsExpressionSearchControl;

// Search for a particular object class, "LINK"
@Control ()
@GsExpressionSearchControl.SearchParams(objectClassName ="LINK", beanType=Link.class)
GsExpressionSearchControlBean <Link> linkSearchBean;
