SimpleSearch usage
In the old client as soon as a Simple Search configuration exists the corresponding search field appears. More than one configuration of this plug-in result in a black arrow inside the field so that the user can choose between the different simple searches (known as quick search as well). In HTML5, in contrast, to use a specific Simple Search in the frontend it should be activated in the OMN-Search page plugin. To run the search the corresponding tile should be clicked (the Simple Search configured as default is started by clicking on "enter" key from the keyboard or "search" icon):
-
if the SimpleSearch has a configured expression, a "sharp" search via ElasticSearch is performed by entered search term in this expression (operators are taken into account)
-
if the SimpleSearch has no configured expression, it searches for the configured type in all indexed fields (e.g. for assets)
-
if there is more than one configured expression, the search by the first one is performed
-
if no search term is specified, the expression is searched globally with *. , otherwise the concrete term is searched in the deposited expression
Search results are visible on the defined AdvancedSearch/FormBasedSearch page. They can be filtered on the left if facets are available (configured). Any simple search can be saved and then used repeatedly. The access to SimpleSearches can be restricted by access rights.
