Customise Search Results

You have to add a template that will be shown when the results are loaded.

<adf-search [searchTerm]="searchTerm">
    <ng-template let-result>
        <ul>
            <li *ngFor="let item of result?.list?.entries">
                {{ item?.entry.name }}
            </li>
        </ul>
    </ng-template>
</adf-search>

The results are provided via the $implicit variable of angular2 and can be accessed via the sugar sintax 'let-yourChosenName'. As per example above the result will be something like :

adf-search-control

But you can define even a more complex template :

<adf-search class="adf-search-result-autocomplete"
            [rootNodeId]="liveSearchRoot"
            [resultType]="liveSearchResultType"
            [resultSort]="liveSearchResultSort"
            [maxResults]="liveSearchMaxResults">
    <ng-template let-data>
        <mat-list *ngIf="isSearchBarActive()" id="autocomplete-search-result-list">
            <mat-list-item
                *ngFor="let item of data?.list?.entries; let idx = index"
                id="result_option_{{idx}}"
                [tabindex]="0"
                (focus)="onFocus($event)"
                (blur)="onBlur($event)"
                class="adf-search-autocomplete-item"
                (click)="elementClicked(item)"
                (keyup.enter)="elementClicked(item)">
                <mat-icon mat-list-icon>
                    <img [src]="getMimeTypeIcon(item)" />
                </mat-icon>
                    <h4 mat-line id="result_name_{{idx}}"
                        *ngIf="highlight; else elseBlock"
                        class="adf-search-fixed-text"
                        [innerHtml]="item.entry.name | highlight: searchTerm">
                        {{ item?.entry.name }}</h4>
                    <ng-template #elseBlock>
                        <h4 class="adf-search-fixed-text" mat-line id="result_name_{{idx}}" [innerHtml]="item.entry.name"></h4>
                    </ng-template>
                    <p mat-line class="adf-search-fixed-text"> {{item?.entry.createdByUser.displayName}} </p>
            </mat-list-item>
            <mat-list-item
                id="search_no_result"
                *ngIf="data?.list?.entries.length === 0">
                <p mat-line class="adf-search-fixed-text">{{ 'SEARCH.RESULTS.NONE' | translate:{searchTerm: searchTerm} }}</p>
            </mat-list-item>
        </mat-list>
    </ng-template>
</adf-search>

Which will look like :

adf-search-control

You can also attach your input field to the adf-search component via the trigger [searchAutocomplete] Yuo can do this by exporting the adf-search panel instance into a local template variable (here we called it "search"), and binding that variable to the input's searchAutocomplete property.

<input type="text" [searchAutocomplete]="search">

<adf-search #search="searchAutocomplete">
    <ng-template let-result>
        <span *ngFor="let item of result?.list?.entries">
            {{ item?.entry.name }}
        </span>
    </ng-template>
</adf-search>        

In this way it is possible to fetch the results from the word typed into the input text straight into the adf-search component via the custom template variable.

Custom search configuration

You can get finer control over the parameters of a search by defining them in a custom QueryBody object. The recommended way to do this is with a custom implementation of the Search Configuration interface (the queryBody parameter of the Search component is now deprecated). The ADF source provides a standard implementation of this interface, SearchConfigurationService that you can use as a base to adapt to your needs. See the Search Configuration interface page for full details of how to customize your search.
