Quick Search

Updated: March 18, 2024

The simple search is configured to work in conjunction with a content view. This section describes the document type and layouts used in the default simple search.

Simple Search Content View

The simple search content view is named simple_search and can be overridden see the contribution at search-contentviews-contrib.xml.

Since 5.8, the simple search box is shown thanks to an action. To customize this box, the corresponding action contribution can be overridden. See http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20Platform-8.10/viewContribution/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions--actions

Suggestions

It takes over the simple search by disabling the action showing the simple search box, and adding the suggester one. See https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-platform-suggestbox/blob/8.10/nuxeo-platform-suggestbox-jsf/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/suggestbox-actions-contrib.xml.

Suggesters can be contributed to this search box. See the contribution at http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20Platform-8.10/viewContribution/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.suggestbox.core.defaultSuggesters--suggesters.
