Creating Search Results

A Search Results proxy works with the Search Bar proxy and lets you create a container that is used to display the results of end user searches in your output. When you build the output, the proxy is replaced with the generated search results.

How to Create a Page for Search Results

  1. Open a topic that you want to use to hold the search results. Usually you want an empty topic, so remove any excess content. Do not use a template page for holding search results.
  2. Place your cursor in the topic, and select Insert > Proxy > Insert Search Results Proxy.
  3. (Optional) A skin component lets you control the look of generated search results. If you have added multiple skin components to your project, you can use the Skin File field to select the one to associate with this proxy. You can then edit that skin component to change its appearance.
  4. Click OK. The proxy is added.
  5. Click Save the active file. to save your work.

Editing a Search Results Proxy

After inserting a Search Results proxy, you can edit it. To do this, open the topic where the proxy is inserted, right-click on it, and select Edit Search Results Proxy.
