Yesterday I wrote about the SmallSearchInputBox, how scopes only appear if you set a search center for the site collection, and how to set the Search Center in code.
Well, as is typically the way with CAML, I figured out how to do this declaratively later. Or, more specifically, I found that there is a feature I could call declaratively that would do what I want:
<!-- SearchCenter Url feature -->
<Feature ID="7AC8CC56-D28E-41f5-AD04-D95109EB987A" >
<Properties xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Property Key="SearchCenterUrl" Value="~SiteCollection/Search/" />
</Properties>
</Feature>
Yup, all I need to do is put that into my site definition…
Note to people using this…this feature is Site scoped not Web scoped
ie. within SiteFeatures not WebFeatures
Yup. Isn’t it lovely that SharePoint is so confused as to what a ‘site’ is?
But this is a ‘Site Feature’ not a ‘Web Feature’ so it actually applies at a Site Collection level.
