Format Snapshot Query Result

You can define how your search results appear. By default, search results are listed in order of relevance; that is, those results that most closely match your search query are listed first.

  1. In the Maximum items displayed field, enter the number of items that should appear on a page.

  2. In the Order results by drop-down list, select the property type. For example, you can list your search results by Content Type ID or Object Last Modified.

  3. To select the available fields for display on search results, under Query Return Fields, click Add Query Fields, select the fields you want to add, and click OK.

    The fields you add here can be selected in the administrative preferences of snapshot query portlets associated with this snapshot query. Selecting all or a subset of these fields in the administrative preferences of a particular snapshot query portlet determines what end users see in search results appearing in that portlet.

  4. If you want the content snapshot portlet to appear with a subscribe button that enables users to receive e-mail about search results, click Enable e-mail subscriptions.

    Note:
    Users only receive the e-mail if their e-mail addresses are available in their user profiles. The portal administrator sets how often portal users are notified of search results. To learn about the Saved Search Mailer external operation, see Main Settings (External Operation).
