You need to override html/portlet/search/search.jsp using hook.

If you want to search by default in "Everything" then try below code (Not Verified)

<aui:form action="<%= searchURL %>" method="get" name="fm" onsubmit="<%= &quot;event.preventDefault();&quot; %>">
	<liferay-portlet:renderurlparams varImpl="searchURL" />
	<aui:input name="format" type="hidden" value="<%= format %>" />
        [b]<aui:input name="groupId" type="hidden" value="0" />[/b]

	<aui:fieldset>
		<aui:input inlineField="<%= true %>" label="" name="keywords" size="30" value="<%= keywords %>" />

		[b]&lt;%-- Comment out below code --%&gt;[/b]
                [b]&lt;%--[/b] <aui:select inlinefield="<%= true %>" label="" name="groupId">
			<aui:option label="everything" selected="<%= groupId == 0 %>" value="0" />
			<aui:option label="<%= &quot;this-&quot; + (group.isOrganization() ? &quot;organization&quot; : &quot;site&quot;) %>" selected="<%= groupId != 0 %>" value="<%= group.getGroupId() %>" />
		</aui:select>
                [b]--%&gt;[/b]
</aui:fieldset></aui:form>

Else if you want to search only in current community by default then below code should work(Not Verified)

<aui:form action="<%= searchURL %>" method="get" name="fm" onsubmit="<%= &quot;event.preventDefault();&quot; %>">
	<liferay-portlet:renderurlparams varImpl="searchURL" />
	<aui:input name="format" type="hidden" value="<%= format %>" />
        [b]<aui:input name="groupId" type="hidden" value="[i]<%= group.getGroupId() %>[/i]" />[/b]

	<aui:fieldset>
		<aui:input inlineField="<%= true %>" label="" name="keywords" size="30" value="<%= keywords %>" />

		[b]&lt;%-- Comment out below code --%&gt;[/b]
                [b]&lt;%--[/b] <aui:select inlinefield="<%= true %>" label="" name="groupId">
			<aui:option label="everything" selected="<%= groupId == 0 %>" value="0" />
			<aui:option label="<%= &quot;this-&quot; + (group.isOrganization() ? &quot;organization&quot; : &quot;site&quot;) %>" selected="<%= groupId != 0 %>" value="<%= group.getGroupId() %>" />
		</aui:select>
                [b]--%&gt;[/b]
</aui:fieldset></aui:form>

So basically we are just setting groupId field value as per required. If "Everything" then it should be 0 and for current site it should be groupId of that site.

I hope this will be helpful.

cant i jsut hide this field?

[Tejas Kanani, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi Lutz,

Above given code will do the same. If you comment out give line of code(mentioned with "Comment out below code") it will not display search type selection. But as in logic , it will need groupId field value. So in that case I've added one hidden field which will serve our purpose. And it will provide that field value which is required in the same search.jsp

long groupId = ParamUtil.getLong(request, "groupId");

So as per my understanding, simply hiding will not work in this case. As in that case I guess you might not get correct value for groupId.

Hello
Very good your information.
When i write in portal_normal.vm $theme.search, now I see a small search box( input text +select+ button ), do you know where can i customize this box? . Im trying with a hook but i can't. . Could you please help me? What file i need to rewrite?

Thank you

[Cosco S, modificado hace 11 años.]

I'm find the solution. I rewrite the directory webapps\ROOT\html\taglib\ui\search in my hook.
I was confused with html/portlet/search/

Bye.

@Tejas
The code for forms and fieldset doesn't exists in 'html/portlet/search/search.jsp'.
Are you referring 'html/taglib/ui/search/start.jsp'? Since I find similar code here
