To modify Search.aspx to customize the template search display

2. Use a text editor to open Search.aspx.
3. Locate the following element:

   weblink:searchform id="TheSearchForm" runat="RunAt" Height="Height" Width="Width"

   Note: The values for RunAt, Height and Width may vary depending on your individual settings.

4. Modify this element using the new attributes to customize your template display.
5. Save Search.aspx.

The following is a list of the new attributes:

• TemplateDisplayed: This value determines the template to be displayed by default whenever the search window is first loaded. If this value is not set, WebLink 7 will display 'No template assigned' by default. It should be formatted in the following manner:

  TemplateDisplayed="DefaultTemplate"

  where DefaultTemplate is the template you wish to be displayed by default.
• TemplateShowDropDown: This value determines whether users should be allowed to select a template. If it is enabled, users will be able to select a template from the list. If this value is not set, the template list will not be displayed, and only the default template (if any) will be used. If this value is not configured, WebLink will display the template list and allow users to select a template . It should be formatted in the following manner:

  TemplateShowDropDownList="Value"

  where Value is "True" or "False."
• TemplatesInList: This value determines the templates which are included in the template list. Only those templates in this list can be selected by users through the search window.

  TemplatesInList="TemplateOne,TemplateTwo,TemplateThree"

  where TemplateOne, TemplateTwo, etc. are the templates you wish to be available in the list.
