Creating Custom Search Pages
If you plan to create custom search pages, Oracle recommends that you clone the delivered search pages and then modify them.
When you create a custom search page, ensure that you specify the page type as Search Page on the Use tab of the Page Properties dialog box in Application Designer. You should insert the custom search page in a component and redeliver the component to make the custom search page available to your end-users who can interact with it.
You can create a custom search page and apply it for a single component or you can apply it system-wide, which can be specified on the PeopleSoft Options page.
