How to setup a custom search for SharePoint sub-site separately?
I have created a new sub-site named "Resume Database" under my SharePoint site collection. I added a document library named Resume Upload with the following metadata column:-
- Resume Name
- Resume Experience
- Resume Category
Uploaded some documents and set the metadata properties.
Added a new content source named "Resume ContentSource". While creating the content source, I setup the "Content Source Type" property to "Web Sites" else SharePoint won't allow me to add a SharePoint sub-site to a new content source.
Here is the screen shot for the rest of properties :-
Crawled the content.
Created new managed property name ReusmeCategory, ResumeExperience and ResumeName.
New ResumeCategory property attached with the crawled property named ows_Resume_x0020_category (Text).
Created a "New Scope" named "Resume Scope" and added in the shared scope.
Go to your site collection -> Site Settings -> Search Scope. Create a new Display Group and add a Resume Scope as default scope.
Here is screen shot for the "Resume scope" Display Group:-
You can verify that the Resume scope is coming from the SSP and clicking "Edit Properties and Rules" as per the following image
Please re-crawl the "Resume ContentSource" and checked the managed properties named ResumeName, ResumeCategory, ResumeExperience shows some value:-
Because I have uploaded the two documents, the "Content using this property" is filled with the value 2.
Create a search center site and go you "Advance Search" page and add the "Resume Scope" and all three managed property as following :-
Click on the "Modify the Web part" and change the display group to" Resume Scope"
Change the "Properties"
