SearchBoxEX SearchResultPageURL

Question

I am us a 'SearchBoxEX' control on my site. Since my site has a language variation, I use a resource files to specify the 'SearchResultPageURL' property.

The page is located on the root of each variation:

ie. "http://.../en-US/SearchResults.aspx" ie. "http://.../fr-FR/SearchResults.aspx"

How do I specify the URL in my resource such that it is a relative URL that will always point to the correct 'SearchResults.aspx' regardless on which sub-site I may be on.

Answer 1

As far as I am aware that needs to be set at site collection level.

[source]

PowerShell script to do it.

$site = Get—SPSite "http://[site]"
foreach ($web in $site.Allwebs) {
    Write—Host "Modifying all search result pages in site ($($web.Url))"
    $web.AllProperties["SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL"] = http://[searchsite]/
    $web.update()
}
$site.Dispose()

Also: You can also set this to happen on a Web Provisioned event receiver for new webs.
