Search parameters
The following parameters can be used in a search query in this format.
<input name="search_parameter" />
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| search_query | Used to search the content of any elements that are stored in a content item. |
| search_authoringtemplate | Used to search the authoring template, if available, that was used to create the content item. |
| search_authors | Used to search the name or names of the authors
for the content item, if any are defined. Searching for LDAP users:
When you search for LDAP users, the full distinguished name must be submitted. Users are unaware of what the actual distinguished name of a user is. It is recommended that if planning to allow users to search for authors, you should create a predefined list or dropdown to allow users to select a known author. That way the user names can be displayed in a user-friendly manner, but the parameters submitted by the form can be the distinguished name for the selected user. |
| search_author | This is similar to search_authors except that search_author only searches the first author name for each content item, whereas search_authors searches against all the authors for each content item. |
