Working with Search Results in Conditional Navigation

The conditional navigation feature takes into consideration the links that are displayed when a user uses global search. If conditional navigation is configured, the content references displayed on clicking the links on the Search Results page would be as per the conditional navigation guidelines on the search feature.

Consider the following scenario to understand how conditional navigation is implemented for classic display mode and fluid display mode.

• In Classic A content reference, Fluid A is configured as an alternate content reference.

  Classic A is indexed, but not Fluid A.

• Classic B content reference is not configured for any alternate content reference.

  Classic B is indexed.

• Fluid C content reference is not configured for any alternate content reference.

  Fluid C is indexed.

For example, a user searches on the word “Employee” and assume that the search hits are on Classic A, Classic B, and Fluid C.

User Searches in Fluid Display Mode on Any Device

User sees three search results: Fluid A, Classic B, and Fluid C.

Fluid A content reference is displayed rather than Classic A because the user is using fluid display mode.

User Searches in Classic Display Mode on Any Device

Users sees two search results: Classic A and Classic B.

Classic A content reference is displayed rather than Fluid A because the user is using classic display mode.
