Search features using user interface in Sitecore 9

In this blog and as a start I will talk about the search features in the UI in Sitecore 9.

So search can be done using the two interfaces,
1. Content Editor

2. and Experience Editor

The results appear in a new paged interface in case you are using Experience Editor or a new tab in case you are using Content Editor and a list of facets appear too to the right side, they can be applied on the result to narrow the search and give more specified result list.

Also using search filters, such as including a template, author or date and specify whether the result should have this filter,
must have it (it works as AND)
or must not have it
Or you can use the wildcard search which is done by just typing * in the search box, hit enter, and the result will be a list of all the sub-items.
One of the coolest features and time saver -in my opinion- when performing a search using Content Editor of Experience Editor is the operations that can be done on the results, they can be accessed by clicking on the arrow, the operations are:
  • Add Tag
  • Search and replace
  • Clone results to
  • Delete results
  • Publish items
  • Apply campaigns events
  • Apply presentation
  • Copy to data source query
  • Apply security rule
  • Copy results to
  • Move results to
  • Serialize items
  • Apply profile score

Sitecore 9.0.2 SXA 1.7.1 search load more

Sitecore 9.0.2 SXA 1.7.1 search load more. Same conditions as in this blog . Issue: We are using SXA the default search control , and in one of the cases we had even more than two searches in one page, and noticed that the search Load More keeps disappearing and appearing many times while loading and sometimes it does not show even that the Page Size is less than the returned search items count, which caused a wrong behavior. We made sure that the signatures for each search is different but the issue was still there. We had to make some changes to js file component-search-load-More. js to solve this issue and check Signature before hiding or showing the Load More component. Original component-search-load-more.js - SearchLoadMoreView: SearchLoadMoreView = Backbone.View.extend({ initialize : function () { var dataProperties = this.$el.data(), that = this; if (dataProperties.properties.searchResultsSignatu...

Less than a year with Sitecore, so far so good.

Less than a year with Sitecore, so far so good. The first time I heard of Sitecore was in my initial interview with Tanasuk.  My career with Tanasuk began in February 2018. From its genesis, I was excited to learn about this new technology. I attended a Digital Transformation Event that highlighted the paramount functionality and possibilities of Sitecore, peaking my enthusiasm to develop websites unparalleled to anything I had previously worked on.  I started my learning process one step at a time. This is just the beginning, as there is still so much to master; new technology emerges every day. I frequently attend user groups in Jordan to enhance my knowledge and augment my skillset. Going to the Sitecore symposium in Orlando, Florida this year further ignited my enthusiasm (and there was an off-chance to see Will Smith). I heard about innovative topics, client-satisfaction features, and new technologies that would stimulate my experience as well. And ...
