Function: RenderSearchString

16 September 2025 - 16:41 | Version 3 |
Generates a properly formatted searchstring for either SEARCH or DBQUERY

Documentation

RenderSearchString is used to automatically generate the search string, including all user-selected options from RenderBarFilterWithSort.

Parameters
  • FORSEARCH - Specifies search string is to be formatted for %SEARCH{}% rather than the default %DBQUERY{}% format.
  • BASESEARCH - Required - Provides the base search, such as [T]opicType.*value\=.*%BASETOPIC% (for SEARCH) or TopicType = '%BASETOPIC%'" for DBQUERY
  • FACETS - Required Specify what "facets" in include as filters. Defaults to the contents of "Facets" field in base topic.
  • INITSORT -Required Initial sort. set to either "created" or "modified"
  • INITLIMIT - Required Initial results # limit. Set to 10, 20, 50, 100, or all.
  • Note: if you are using this in conjunction with RenderSearchString, you can simplify things by defining FACETS, INITSORT, and INITLIMIT within the base topic.
