Adding a Search Page to the MCMS Site
We have two options available to implement a search capability for our Tropical Green site:
Leverage the ASP.NET Server Controls included in the MCMS Connector for SharePoint Technologies that allow search queries to be executed.
Create our own solution.
The MCMS Connector includes the following three controls that assist you in implementing search functionality for an MCMS site by leveraging SharePoint search scopes:
SearchInputControl: . Used to create the search form input for a search to be submitted.
SearchResultControl: . Takes search criteria entered in the
SearchInputControl
, executes the search against the SPS search Web Service, and displays the results in list form.SearchMetaTagGenerator: . Creates HTML META tags based on the
PropertyType
setting. META tags generated can include standard page properties as well as custom properties.
You can use these three controls on the same page or separate pages...
