Search Parameters
| Search Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| query | The search string being sought. This is typically provided by the end-user, because this is the value entered in the Search text box. |
name="query" value="conference" |
| folderID | The folder where results can be found. If not specified, all folders are searched. |
Multiple folderIDs can be specified by using multiple parameters, as shown below: name="folderID" value="27279861", name="folderID" value="27279865" |
| hostID |
The hosts within the current hostgroup (site) whose pages are included in the search results. By default, only the current host is searched. You can get the hostID values from the URL when you switch hosts from your navigation bar. |
Multiple hostIDs can be specified by using multiple parameters, as shown below: name="hostID" value="101", name="hostID" value="29333" |
| includeSubfolders |
Default value: false When used in conjunction with folderID, tells search also to look in all sub-folders of the specified folders. |
name="includeSubfolders" value="true" |
| recent |
Only include items first published within the past specified number of days. Note: If specified as a parameter, startDate and endDate are ignored. |
name="recent" value="7" |
| startDate |
Only include items first published since the specified date. Format is MM/DD/YYYY. Note: If recent is a specified parameter, startDate is ignored. |
name="startDate" value="1/4/2009" |

| page |
(In general, not a useful parameter when manually configuring a search.) Sends the end user to a specific page in paginated search results. Note: The standard search.jsp does not allow you to vary the number of results in search-pagination: results are always paginated in sets of 10. |
name="page" value="3" |
