Custom Results Formatting

By default, the results of a search are formatted in tabular form (except for reports with a single result which may be formatted as a summary list).

Occasionally the tabular format is not suitable and a more complex layout is required. The search writer can define the following:

• A custom format to be used in place of the table on the search results page and refer to it using the format attribute of the results element.

Note: In earlier versions of the iConsole there was an option to replace the search results page using a custom XSL transform. The redesign of the iConsole no longer supports this approach and so this option is no longer available.
