Creating a Results Page

To create a results page:

  1. Create a search results section as a child of the publication's home section. Set the section's Section unique name property to search.

  2. Create a template for the search results page as a child of the publication's config.default.section template. The new template's Section unique name must be set to config.default.section.search.

  3. Create a Search Config widget and configure it according to your needs, then publish it.

  4. Drag the Search Config widget into your search template's Meta area.

  5. Create a Search Component widget, set Title to a name of your choice (Search Results, for example).

  6. On the General tab, set Component to Results List.

  7. Publish the widget.

  8. Drag the Search Results widget into your search template's Main area (probably inside a group somewhere).

  9. If you want other search components on your search page, create other kinds of Search Component widgets (a result counter and a pager control, for example) and place them in your search template.

  10. Publish the template.
