Results list

In this portlet you can show lists from saved catalogue searches. This means the portlet does not correspond to a user or related search. Instead the results are driven by a parameter containing the search information. It is used to present ready-made lists in different places on the site.

See also Articles: query search

The lists are used in the following two ways:

  • The parameter contains a fixed search. The search is not related to any other search or content. For example, it may be used to present the titles added to the catalogue the last month and show on the welcome page. The parameter would then be something like mediaClass:book and the sorting set to year descending. In this way, the portlet provides an easy way to ensure that the welcome page is always up to date.
  • The parameter contains a search using information from other items presented on the page. For example, it could be used to display other titles by the author presently shown in the catalogue record detail.

Apart from showing the data from the catalogue record, you can for example make it possible to click on the title to show the catalogue record details page, show availability and offer the possibility of placing the title in the media basket.
