Controlling search results in Share

This topic provides instructions on controlling the maximum number of items that a Share search returns.
By default, the Share search feature returns a maximum of 250 search results. You can extend this number of search results to return more than 250 entries.
  1. Download the share-config.xml file.
  2. Open the share-config.xml file and copy the <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Search" replace="true"> section.
  3. Open the <web-extension>\share-config-custom.xml file and then paste the copied section.
  4. Locate the <max-search-results>250</max-search-results> property and then edit the value to your preferred number of search results.
  5. For the changes to take effect, refresh the SkyVault web scripts. To refresh the web scripts:
    1. Navigate to the SkyVault web scripts Home page.

      For example, go to: http://<your-host>:8080/share/page/index.

    2. Click on Refresh Web Scripts.

      You have now refreshed the web scripts and set a limit to the number of items a search in Share returns.

Note: Custom searches and searches from the node browser use the solr.query.maximumResultsFromUnlimitedQuery property to control search results. For more information, see Solr 4 core configuration properties.
