I'm currently building a intranet documentation site for our Helpdesk and
I'm using the portal example to build it on since it fits all my needs.
The only thing I want to change is the search, I've been wrestling with it since a few days now and I just can't get it to do what I want.
What I basically want it to do is display the article titles as links to the complete article.
A quick summary
I enter the searchquery, it displays a number of titles(all hotlinked)I click on one link and it displays the entire article.
I'm fiddling around with the articles.asp at the moment because I think this is where to edit the search engine.
Can someone please help me?!

Hi,
I'm a beginner but maybe i can point you in the right direction. On your search result page, click right in project explorer window on the field you want to add linking capabilities, choose change to, link. That's about it.
good luck
Rene

Well I've tried that but the results didn't come out to well It did link the title it only tried to parse the entire articles contents in its adress bar. Resulting in a page with another set of titles.
Anyone out there who can help me? codecharge team perhaps?

Hey, I think I can help you. All you have to do is go to your results page like the person described above. Change the "Title" or "description" to link, then go into the extra parameters on the right. choose your output parameter to be the "id" field. then it will submit the "id" to the full description page, pulling up that article. I am having a hard time explaining....hope that helps a little.
so, instead of linking from the "id" field, just link with the title field and add the output parameter as being the "Id" field. So when you click on the title, it really just outputs the article ID to the full description page.

Your full description page should have a "record" type form to show the one article the user clicked on. Then just change the field values to labels...with no update/delete options etc.

Its working now Jeremy Thanks for your help. What I basically did was make another form for (grid) With which to output the article ID's Title and Description.
I think it tried to display every article out of every category every time I clicked a link...
