Global Search for entitylist

Posted on by 40

We are developing a custom portal with web pages displaying list.

We have 3-4 entity list and need to apply global search on this list.

Is there a way to implement global search in crm portal to search the records from all the entity list display them.

Thank you.

    What code did you use to make the search work? I already implemented the search box and the button but it woun´t filter my entitylist when I click the button. It´t just doing nothing and I can´t figure out why.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Creating custom search using fetch XML works fine.

    sorry about that Rahul.. I thought we could add custom entities

    I guess the only way out would be creating a custom search.. if you create a custom web template.. you can get the search input, and query multiple Fetch XML for all the entities you need

    finally render all the results dynamically .. I am just wondering about the performance, perhaps you could limit with a "top/count" in your Fetches

    does that make sense to you?

    Hello Oliver,

    Records displayed using entity list are from custom entity and according to documentation custom entities cannot be enabled for global search.

    I tried following approach,

    Added Portal Search view in custom entity.

    changed the search/query in site settings.

    But it doesnot work.

    Is there any other way around.

    Thank you.

    yes, the portal comes with an OOB feature for global search: docs.microsoft.com/.../search

    you can setup the entities within the Site Settings records
