Managing the Search Results Page
In CentraSite Business UI the result view is rendered in the Search Results page. The Search Results page includes several components that you can configure to improve the end-user experience.
The relevant results of a query are displayed in the Search Results. By configuring the properties in this Search Results page, you can control how search results are displayed. You can for example:
Change the number of results that appear on a page
Change the number of characters in the asset name
Change the number of characters in the asset description
Change the number of character in the attribute name
Use refiners to drill down in search results
Refiners enable you to drill down into the search results based on attributes that are associated with the search items, such as creation date, owner, and organization name. The refiners include a collection of generic attributes and the type-specific attributes of the asset type chosen in the search criteria.
By using refiners, you can narrow the search results to only show search items like for example certain assets, created in a certain time period, created by a given person. Refiners are displayed in the View menu that is located just above the result view area.
Add sort options to search results
You can sort the search results by choosing one of the options from the drop-down list labeled Sort by on the Search Results page. The sort options are rendered based on respect to the attributes that were earlier selected in the View menu. Default sorting is by the Name field.
You can choose to reorder the list of assets by toggling the ascending or descending arrow located next to the option.
