Setting Component Properties for Search Options

This section discusses setting component properties as they relate to setting up search for a fluid component.

Setting Internet Properties

You can set the default search mode for the fluid component using the Primary Action property in the Search Page group box on the Component Properties, and then Internet tab:

New: Add mode.
Search: Real time component search.
Keyword Search: Search Framework-based search on the search category associated with the component.

Note:

If a fluid component is designed to provide both real-time component search and keyword search, then real-time component search should be used as the default search option. That is, the Primary Action setting on Component Properties, and then Internet tab: should set to Search.

Setting Fluid Properties

When setting properties on the Component Properties > Fluid tab, the properties in the following table relate to implementing search for a fluid component:

Property	Description
Search Type	None: Disables a search page from appearing for a fluid component. If selected, you need to ensure you have bypassed the search requirement sufficiently, such as by using SearchInit PeopleCode or by specifying a search record that does not have a search key defined. Standard: Select to display the “standard” search page, derived from the search page definition: PTS_NUI_SEARCH. Using the page, the end users view the search results, and drill into the component. Master/Detail: Select to display the “standard” search page, derived from the search page definition: PTS_NUI_SEARCH_S. Using the page, the end users view the search results, and drill into the component. With the Master/Detail option, the search results remain displayed in the left side panel while the component displays in the right panel. Note: Standard or Master/Detail search types may be used for both real-time or keyword search options.
Enable Configurable Search	Enables configurable search for the component, however you must exercise caution before you select this option because you can also enable configurable search for a component using the Manage Configurable Search page. See Search Technology: Guidelines on Using Configurable Search for Fluid Components.
Next/Previous in List	Select to display features for end users to use for navigating through the search results. The Next/Previous icons will appear in the fluid banner after drilling into a component search result.
