Changing Page Top Navigation Links

A search results page can include the following navigation links at the top of results listings:

Previous/Next link

Sort by Date/Sort by Relevance link

By default, the search results page includes both of these navigation links, as shown in the search result
page figure (see “Getting Started with Customizing the User Interface” on page 91).

Using the Page Layout Helper, you can choose whether to show or hide one or both of these navigation
links. To change text labels for navigation links, use the XSLT Stylesheet Editor (see “Customizing the
User Interface in the XSLT Stylesheet” on page 100
).

Open the Page Layout Helper (see “Opening the Page Layout Helper” on page 93).

2.

Click the right arrow next to Search Results to display the contents.

3.

Click the check boxes to show or hide the Previous/Next link or the Sort by Date/Sort by
Relevance
link.

Results” on page 47
