- See the searchContent method in https://github.com/Jasig/SimpleContentPortlet/tree/master/src/main/java/org/jasig/portlet/cms/mvc/portlet/SearchContentController.java
- Here is where the work happens, EventRequest.getEvent() returns a SearchRequest
- SearchRequest specified the search terms that were specified, your portlet should use these to do its searching
- If there is a hit create a SearchResults object, copy over the queryId, set the windowId, for each result create a SearchResult and set title/summary. Set the type to a string relevant to your portlet. The type is used to
- determine which tab to display the results on (as determined by map "searchTabs" in bean https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/blob/master/uportal-war/src/main/resources/properties/contexts/servicesContext.xml)
- For prioritizing results for the ajax search-as-you-type response (see xxx in bean https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/blob/master/uportal-war/src/main/resources/properties/contexts/servicesContext.xml)
- Call EventResponse.setEvent to send the results back to the search portlet
- This example is Spring 3.x specific but it can be doing using the plain-old portlet 2 APIs as well
