Search Settings

Search Settings define options available from the Search input icon within the Collection Toolbar.

Fields

The following fields define the drop-down options, and when they should be available.

Title - Title for the settings, as it will appear in the search icon drop-down menu.
Description - Optional description for these settings, as it will appear when the mouse hovers over the option in the drop-down menu.
Active - These settings are only considered when active is checked.
Folders - The folder(s) to apply these settings to. Choose the Root folder with 'Inherit Folders' to apply to all content of matching types in the system (including those without any folder(s) assigned).
Inherited Folders - If checked, all subfolders (and their subfolders, etc) will also inherit these settings.
Content Types - The content type(s) to apply these settings to. Choose the cObject type with 'Inherit Types' to apply to content of all types in the selected folder(s).
Inherited Types - If checked, all subtypes recursively will also inherit these settings.
Folder Context Only - If checked, these settings will only apply if the user is viewing the target object(s) with respect to the folders in this settings instance.

Filter - The search filter to apply. The search string will be available in :SEARCH (or $Search if this is cTemplate). This must evaluate to a well-formed cQL query.
Is cTemplate - If checked, the filter will be evaluated as cTemplate code.
No Search String - If checked, the filter will be assumed to not contain :SEARCH/$Search and will apply the filter query as-is. The users search string, if entered, will apply as a generic search on the already filtered results.
Default - If checked, this is the default filter that will be applied when the view is opened.
