New page

bxp uses a specific type of searching called LiveSearch in a number of areas including eCourse. LiveSearch allows a user to begin typing into a text box and the search results are displayed and refreshed with each key press. This kind of searching is typically seen in search engines.

There are three areas where a user can search dynamically for an eCourse. There is a single book search page, a multi book search page and a new interface bar which can be added to a user's homepage.

=Single Book Search=

The single book dynamic search function will allow a user to pick a book and then search the contents dynamically. This page can be accessed by navigating to eCourse -> Read -> Search a Book - Dynamic

The following page will display a list of eCourses. Please pick the book you wish to search on and you will then be re-directed to the search page.

To start searching, type your search terms into the text box on the page and the results will be displayed directly underneath it. The table will display the book, chapter and page ID of the book and it will also contain a link to the eCourse page itself.

=Multi Book Search=

The multi book search function works in the exact same way as the single book search function. Navigate to eCourse -> Read -> Search Multiple Books - Dynamic. Select all of the eCourses that you want to search on and then click on the "Search Books" button. The next page will allow the user to search by typing into the text box. All of the results will be displayed in a table underneath the text box.

=Dynamic Ecourse Interface Bar=

The third way the eCourse search function can be used is as an interface bar. This interface bar can be added to a user's homepage. It will search in all of the books the user has access to.

To add the new interface bar to a profile, navigate to SAM -> User Administration -> Edit User - Security Details. Look up the user and then scroll down to the main menu interface options. The ID for the interface bar is 47. Add this into main menu bar and click save.
