CQL Search Table Macro (New)

This macro is available from version 1.3.0 onwards.

We have added a new  CQL Search Table Macro which

  • The results of the search result is displayed in a tabular format

  • The columns to be displayed can be configured

  • The Search bar can be hidden if "Default Query Term" is provided

CQL Search Macro 

1. Support for wildcard searching to improve the quality of the search results

The searching by title is done with an exact match. If we are searching with "Guide", pages with titles containing "Guides" are not returned.

You can have the option to choose $$query*$$ instead of $$query$$ depending whether you need a similar or exact match.

Please view How to Search Content effectively with Titles  for more details.


2. Searching for related content with the Page Title 

It is now possible to list related content conveniently without having to handcraft the CQL for each page.

By using $self as the Default Query Term field, the macro will use the current page title as the query term to execute the search.

Users can now configure the default message provided when no results are returned to better suit their needs.
