Customizing the Search Provider

This section describes how to perform some common customizations on the Search provider.

To Add last-modified to the Search Result Display

Modify searchOnly.jsp file by adding last-modified to the list of viewAttributes.

For example:

<search:setViewAttributes viewAttributes="hl-url,hl-title,hl-description,score,content-length,hl-classification,last-modified"/>

Modify results.jsp file to display the last-modified date for document results using the SOIF getValue tag.

For example:

<% if (formbean.getDescription().equals("full")) { %>
    <FONT color=<%=tFontColor%> face=<%=tFontFace%>><search:getValue soifAttribute="description" escape="false"/></FONT><BR>
    <FONT color=#707070 face=<%=tFontFace%>><search:getURL escape="true"/><BR>
    <search:getValue soifAttribute="content-length" id="sz"/>
    <search:getValue soifAttribute="last-modified"/><BR>
<% } %>

Run the touch command.

For example, type touch *.jsp.

Reload the Desktop to verify the change.

To Remove content-length from Search Results

(Optional) Modify searchOnly.jsp file by removing content-length from the list of viewAttributes.

The line to modify is the following:
<search:setViewAttributes viewAttributes="hl-url,hl-title,hl-description,score,content-length,classification hl-classification"/>
Remove content-length from this line.

Modify results.jsp file by removing the line that displays the content-length.

Comment the lines as shown here:

<%--
	<search:getValue attribute="content-length" id="sz"/>
	<jx:declare id="sz" type="java.lang.String"/>
	<%
		int sizek = 1;
		try {
			sizek = Math.max(1, (Integer.parseInt(sz) + 512)/1024 );
		} catch (Exception e) {
		}
	%>
	<i18n:message key="size" bundle="searchjsp"/>
	<%= sizek %>k&nbsp;
--%>"

Run the touch command.

For example, type touch *.jsp.

Reload the Desktop to verify the change.

To Remove author from the Advanced Search Interface

Comment out or remove the author related HTML from the advancedSearch.jsp file.

For example:

<!--     -->
<!-- To disclude the "author" row, remark out the following section -->
<!--     -->
<TR>
    <td valign=middle align=right height=40><FONT color=<%=tFontColor%> face=<%=tFontFace%>><nobr> <LABEL FOR="advAuthor">Author</LABEL>
    <SELECT NAME="authorOp">
    <OPTION VALUE=<%=SearchContext.CONTAIN%> <%=formbean.authorOpSelection(SearchContext.CONTAIN)%>>does</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE=<%=SearchContext.NOTCONTAIN%> <%=formbean.authorOpSelection(SearchContext.NOTCONTAIN)%>>does not</OPTION>
    </SELECT>contain&nbsp;</FONT></nobr></TD>
    <td valign=middle align=left height=40><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="authorVal" id="advAuthor" VALUE= "<%=SearchContext.htmlEncode(formbean.getAuthorVal())%>"></TD>
</TR>

Comment out author- related lines in advQuery.jsp file.

if (!formbean.getAuthorVal().equals("")) {
    h = new HashMap();
    h.put(SearchContext.OPERAND, "author");
    h.put(SearchContext.OPERATION, formbean.getAuthorOp());
    h.put(SearchContext.VALUE, formbean.getAuthorVal());
    l.add(h);
}

Run the touch command.

For example, type touch *.jsp.

Reload the Desktop to verify the change.

To Add a New Field to Advanced Search

Uncomment the keywords section in advancedSearch.jsp file.

<!--     -->
<!-- To Include the "Keywords" row, unremark the following section -->
<!--
<TR>
<td valign=middle align=right height=40><FONT color=<%=tFontColor%> face=<%=tFontFace%>><nobr> <LABEL FOR="advKeywords">Keywords</LABEL>
<SELECT NAME="keywordsOp">
<OPTION VALUE=<%=SearchContext.CONTAIN%> <%=formbean.keywordsOpSelection(SearchContext.CONTAIN)%>>does</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=<%=SearchContext.NOTCONTAIN%> <%=formbean.keywordsOpSelection(SearchContext.NOTCONTAIN)%>>does not</OPTION>
</SELECT>contain&nbsp;</FONT></nobr></TD>
<td valign=middle align=left height=40><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="keywordsVal" id="advKeywords" VALUE= "<%=SearchContext.htmlEncode(formbean.getKeywordsVal())%>"></TD>
</TR>
-->

Remove the  comment marks from this section.

Add the keywords to advQuery.jsp file.

if (!formbean.getKeywordsVal().equals("")) {
  h = new HashMap();
  h.put(SearchContext.OPERAND, "Keywords");
  h.put(SearchContext.OPERATION,formbean.getKeywordsOp());
  h.put(SearchContext.VALUE, formbean.getKeywordsVal());
  l.add(h);
}

Run the touch command.

For example, type touch *.jsp.
