Customizing the Archive Search Web Part search form

You can use the Manage Scope and Manage Properties links to customize the search form in the Archive Search Web Part by adding SharePoint sites to the scope list and custom properties to the properties listed.

  • Manage Scope enables you to add sites to the Search scope drop-down box. For example, you may want to include a site that has been deleted, as there may still be archived content from this site.

  • Manage Properties enables you to add custom properties to the "Search by properties" drop-down box. Custom properties can be defined for item libraries. Enterprise Vault stores these additional properties when it archives.

To add a site to the search scope list

  1. In the Archive Search Web Part, click Manage Scope.
  2. Click Add a Site.
  3. Enter the Site name and the URL for the required site.
  4. Click OK. The site is displayed on the Custom Sites page.
  5. Click Back to return to the main search page.
  6. When you click the arrow beside the Search scope drop-down box. The new site is now available in the list.

To add a custom property to the Search by properties list

  1. In the Archive Search Web Part, click Manage Properties.
  2. Click Add a Property.
  3. Enter the Property name of the required custom property.
  4. Click OK. The site is displayed on the Custom Properties page.
  5. Click Back to return to the main search page.

    When you click the arrow beside the property box under Search by properties, the new site is now available in the list.

Note:

Do not add multiline fields as a property. If you want to search for items with multiline fields, you can do a content search using text from the multiline fields. If you add multiline fields as a property, the search results may not contain the items you are looking for.
