In 5.0.d there is no centralized configuration for that.

You can overwrite the views for all repository web scripts to return empty lists

/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/live-search-docs.get.json.ftl<code>
<code>/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/auto-suggest-search.get.json.ftl<code>
<code>/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/live-search-people.get.json.ftl<code>
<code>/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/live-search-sites.get.json.ftl<code>

For instance, for the first one, include a new file located at <code>/opt/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/live-search-docs.get.json.ftl with the following content:



<#escape x as jsonUtils.encodeJSONString(x)>
{
   "totalRecords": 0,
   "startIndex": 0,
   "hasMoreRecords": "false",
   "items":
   [
   ]
}
</#escape>

Since this has been asked in IRC today as well, I took the time to look into it.

The feature "did you mean" in faceted search is actually called "spellcheck" which is unrelated to the suggester config, although it uses the same index fields / values. It can be disabled by configuring the AlfSearchList module with the config property "spellcheck" set to false. This is best be done in a Surf extension module that adds a customization to faceted-search.get.js

The SOLR suggester is only used for a type-ahead convenience functionality when entering search terms in the keyword input field. It is actually properly disabled by setting the solr.suggester.enabled property in solrcore.properties to false. Additionally, there is also a separate property that can be set in alfresco-global.properties with the same name to disable only the Repository-tier service. Both have the same effect of disabling the type-ahead.

Useful information and also I have a doubt that in live search if I type "ad" admin comes as a suggestion but when I tap enter then in search result page, no user is shown where else its all files and documents related result.

Also I tried solrcore.properties to false but still the suggestion are coming. Any idea?

Thanks.

I have found these files at /Applications/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/alfresco-remote-api-5.0.d/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot and any changes I make to them are not reflecting on the application.

Could let me know how to remove the people finder from the live search? and How to override them so changes reflect on application?

Thanks

You should not change those files directly. Instead, use the shared/classes/alfresco/extension path to override them, i.e. via the path shared/classes/alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/

I am not able to find the AlfSearchList module or faceted-search.get.js. If you have a blog or document on these files, please share it with me.

I will try the comment for override by you.

Thanks.

thanks for your useful info.

I have overrided live-search-people.get.json.ftl file as the way you mentioned and people suggestion is not coming which is good but now no suggestion is coming at all, i.e., no document/file suggestion.

Also how can I change the placeholder of search box? I want it to be "Search files,sites" only.

Any idea?

I had came across this document but couldn't find it in alfresco community.

Where could I find this file in alfresco community? Could you share the path for it?

Also how to override this file?

Thanks.
