Global Search Result

Global Search Result

Follow these steps to customize the global search page:

1. Create an Axon Ivy project which has portal as a required library.

2. Copy the PortalStart process from portal to your project. This process is the new home page. The administrator needs to register this link in the variables.

3. Refer to Customize Portal home to set the new home page.

4. Create the customized search data model which extends SearchResultsDataModel. Override the search method to filter your objects.

   Note

   We recommend to apply lazy loading or pagination for custom tabs to have a good performance.

5. Use Axon Ivy HtmlOverride wizard to override the SearchResults HTML dialog.

   In the data class, change the dataModel to the above one, and in logic, also cast it.

   

6. Define the custom-search section to add your customized tabs:

   <ui:composition template="/layouts/SearchResultsTemplate.xhtml">
       <ui:define name="custom-search">
       <p:tab title="Employees">
           <p:dataTable id="employee-table" value="#{data.dataModel.employees}" var="emp" sortBy="#{emp.firstName}">
           <p:column headerText="First Name" sortBy="#{emp.firstName}" filterBy="#{emp.firstName}">
               <h:outputText value="#{emp.firstName}" />
           </p:column>
           <p:column headerText="Last Name" sortBy="#{emp.lastName}" filterBy="#{emp.lastName}">
               <h:outputText value="#{emp.lastName}" />
           </p:column>
           <p:column headerText="Country" sortBy="#{emp.country}" filterBy="#{emp.country}">
               <h:outputText value="#{emp.country}" />
           </p:column>
           </p:dataTable>
       </p:tab>
       </ui:define>
   
       <ui:define name="css">
       <h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="examples.css" />
       </ui:define>
   </ui:composition>
   

7. Override the OpenPortalSearch callable process and change the HTML dialog to your customized one.

   You find an example in the portal-developer-examples project in files:

   • CustomizedSearchResultsDataModel.java
