Search Customization
Implementing Search Customization
Servigistics InService provides configuration files and delegates which can be customized or overridden to support customization.
These configuration files can be used for customization. The OOTB configuration files are located in $(wt.codebase.location)\com\ptc\sc\configs.
• searchConfig.xml can be used to configure the search criteria on the advanced search form, search results information, and search results sorting information.
• facets.xml can be used to configure the display of facets and support facet based filtering such as information types, publication types, kit types, and so forth.
Both files can be customized and any new files can be stored in the custom configuration location.
<Property name="com.ptc.sc.search.config.
StandardSystemPropertyService.customSearchConfigLocation"
default="$(wt.codebase.
location)$(dir.sep)delivery$(dir.sep)customSearchConfig"
overridable="true"/>

The custom files contain both OOTB and customized information, not just the customized information.

The client advanced search page can be customized by copying and customizing the following layout files:
• codebase.war/delivery/templates/search/advancedSearch.tmpl.html
Customize this file to modify the out-of-box layout itself.
• codebase.wardelivery/templates/search/advancedSearchCustomControls.tmpl.html
Customize this file to add new controls after the out-of-box controls.
