In our customers case, they had just the ONE special list.

Another option, if you want to fix this for all lists/sites would be to write a custom HTTPModule – but it’s a much heavier weight option.

And I share your hopes…

I admire your perseverance but am choosing to be optimistic (in the extreme?) that this will be ‘repaired’ in a future release.

In the post at http://www.novolocus.com/2009/02/24/search-a-single-site/ we are using additional query terms (appqueryterms) – though I’m using it to pass the ‘Site’ url as a parameter to search – it isn’t a proper scope.

I’m pretty sure you have to set Append to Query to true, but I’ve not checked.

just browsing your site (brought here by the breadcrumb info) and had a quick read of this article.

maybe I misread what you said about making the search box use a particular scope I used this process for the search on my last site but found a input called appqueryterms on the search webpart with which you can something similar to scope:blahblah which should pass this value through the search box to your search results page.

you also have to make sure that append to query is set to false.

Keep up the good work

I am doing a site collection – in it there will be sites that match our sections, obviously one will be ICT.

On the home page of each site I want a simple box to search the docs in that site. I don’t want to go to OSSSearchResults

This looked like a solution.

However, unless I missed a step, the URL that gets passed to my new results page is

http://intranetnew/sections/ICT/Pages/ICTSearchResults.aspx?k=Hakuna&s=All%20Sites

(NB “Hakuna” is a text string I know is in a document at site collection level, but not in anything in any ICT librabray or list)

Leaving off the s parameter and it all works, but I can’t seem to get that to be sent from the .

Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris
