Working with the Search Results

This topic discusses search results on a classic user interface.

After running a search using Keyword Search, the system presents the search results in an intuitive display, enabling interactive filtering and further navigation.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Search Results. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Facets

This is the facet pane, which is the area to the left of the search results. Using the facets defined for the current search definition, the end user can filter the search results and drill down closer to the desired information.

If searching the All category, you initially see the various search categories represented in the search results.

By drilling into the category, you view the facets associated with attributes in the search index.

The title enables you to identify the search result and navigate to the associated component. Select or tap the row to display the page you use to view or modify the underlying data for the search result.

The title is defined using the Title edit box on the General tab of the Search Framework, Search Designer Activity Guide, Search Definition component.

Summary

The summary is defined using the Summary edit box on the General tab of the Search Framework, Search Designer Activity Guide, Search Definition component.

Related Actions Indicator

If the search definition is mapped to a component, and if there are any defined related actions associated with that component, the related actions indicator appears to the right of the search result if you've selected the Show Related Actions in Search Results field on the Search Configuration page. Clicking the related actions indicator displays a popup containing the defined related actions. See Configuring a Search Page.
