I have a list of Glossary terms with their respective descriptions in i-share 2013. I want a similar google search functionality where you type in the term name and brings the matching results with respective descriptions.

How do I do that in SharePoint 2013?

  • Is that Sharepoint 2013 on Premise or Sharepoint Online? What is i-share?? You mean "similar google search functionality" as in you start typing and it brings the results right away? I'm pretty sure you can do that with a javascript that as soon as you start writing would be considered as doing a search per word, but that could be very taxing to the server as it's not Google.

  • Option 1 - Use REST API http://server/_api/search/query to return the results based on entered keyword (you can use more parameters to restrict your search to particular list / library)

  • Option 2 - Configure search web part to return results from particular list / library. Use display template to configure the result look and feel. For input keyword, use OOTB search web part, apply css to have desired look.

  • Thanks for your comments! but can you clarify or provide more details. I am not clear if 1st option is just to create a search not to retrieve the results. and 2nd option will really help bringing the description of the glossary term.

  • First option is to get search results based on keyword entered using REST API. Using single HTML & CSS you can create the google search like text area n button. On button click event, call the REST API to return results. Results could be presented in any format as required.
