Need to customize search view without an action

[vilarac]

Hi,

I need to access to the Alfresco search results page (or a custom one) without performing a search through an action (search button). I've been trying using a custom browsebean, passing the context information to it, but with no results. Do somebody know if it's possible to be implemented or it's just that Alfresco doesn't allow it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

What I need is to show the results of a search in Alfresco, but the search dialog is in another application, I mean, the data (words to search for) comes from an external dialog, and I need to pass this data to Alfresco so that it performs a search and shows the results page as usual. By now I've customize the BrowseBean and do a search, but the problem is, since I need to have exactly the same results page as in Alfresco, that is not easy to reproduce it and pass the results to the jsp, I'm having problems finding the correct jsp so that I can have the same results page as in Alfresco but with the results coming from my custom browsebean. Do you know how this can be done?

What you do is write a search page in your own application.   Query alfresco through one of the remote APIs and then display the results on your own page.
