The tabbed search portlet is currently available at https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/sandbox/TabbedSearchPortlet/trunk.

Selecting and ordering search engines

Available searches may be turned on and off and re-ordered through modifying the configuredSearches list in the searchController bean definition. Available searches will be displayed as tabs in the order in which they're present in this list. Current legal values for searches are as follows:

  • google: General google web search
  • directory: LDAP person directory search
  • gsa: Google Search Appliance search

These values may be modified in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/context/portlet/tabbed-search.xml: 

<!-- main portlet view -->
<bean id="searchController"
    class="org.jasig.portlet.search.mvc.TabbedSearchController">
    <property name="configuredSearches">
        <list>
            <value>directory</value>
            <value>gsa</value>
            <value>google</value>
        </list>
    </property>

       . . .

</bean>
