Disabling Public and Secure Search Radio Buttons

By default, the Secure Search option is enabled, letting your users choose to search over public
documents or both public and secure documents. By default, a search box contains radio buttons for
public and secure search as shown in the search box figure (see “Customizing the Search Box” on
page 94)
. If you do not want these radio buttons to appear in the user interface, you can disable them.

Modifying Search Results

On the search results page, you can determine what data comes back, how it is arranged, and how it
looks. As you select check boxes in each Search Results area, the sample page on the right shows your
changes dynamically (for some browsers). Other browsers display a Quick Preview button.

Using the Page Layout Helper, you can change the following elements on the search results page:

Page top elements (see “Changing Page Top Elements” on page 97)

Page divider (see “Changing the Page Divider” on page 97)

Navigation links (see “Changing Page Top Navigation Links” on page 98)

Dynamic result clusters (see “Changing Dynamic Result Clusters” on page 98)

Dynamic navigation (see “Changing Dynamic Navigation” on page 98)
