How Do These Web Parts Work?
The List Search Simple Web Part allows you to configure the Web Part so that end users can quickly search a preconfigured list using preconfigured search criteria. The end user only enters in search criteria and views the search results. In the Web Part properties:
Select which list you want to search and the specific fields from the list that you want to search with.
Indicate that the search is always an And search or an OR search.
Select which List view you want to use to display the search results.
Select whether you keep the search criteria on the same page with the search results.
Allow users to select default values in search fields.
Allow users to print the search results.
Allow users to perform a key word search in all list columns.
Translate the Web Part user interface to French, Spanish, German or English, or customize the translation to a language of your choice.
Customize the look and feel of the Web Part user interface by modifying the HTML source code and Web Part CSS.
The List Search Advanced Web Part enables you to allow end users more control over their search options. The end user can select the list to search and the list view for displaying search results, use Boolean operators to narrow the information in the search results, and group search criteria. You can configure the Web Part to:
Specify a set of lists to be available for the user to select from for searching.
Keep the search criteria on the same page with the search results.
Allow users to print the search results.
Disable lookup fields to control Web Part performance.
Translate the Web Part user interface to French, Spanish, German or English, or customize the translation to a language of your choice.
Why Did We Build It?
The basic, out-of-the-box SharePoint search capability searches all lists and documents, but doesn’t provide an easy way for an end user to constrain their search to a specific list using specific fields or to specify how to display results. The results display is difficult for many users to interpret since it lists items from different lists and shows limited information. The List Search Web Parts provide you with the flexibility to easily create a
user friendly search interface to allow end users to perform a quick query on a
large list, such as customer contacts, without having to rely on central IT
administration support.
