<table>
<tr>
<td class="ms-sbtable ms-searchform" style="PADDING-LEFT: 4px">
<p>			<a accesskey="S" title="Advanced Search" href="javascript:LeerWikiSharePointSearchWebpart();"><img title="Advanced Search" alt="Advanced Search" src="/_layouts/images/SPSSearch2.gif" border="0" style="CURSOR:hand;" align="absmiddle"></a>

		</td>
		<td nowrap="nowrap">
<p>			<img title="Execute search" alt="Execute search" border="0" alt="Execute Search" 
				onmouseover="changeImages(this, '\/_layouts\/images\/icongo02.gif'); return true;"
				onmouseout="changeImages(this,'\/_layouts\/images\/icongo01.gif'); return true;"

  • Dont forget to change the following code to your URL
*....yourmainsite.... --> basic site URL of your company (ie. http://portal.company.com)
*....yourspecificsite..... --> the specific site you want to search in .

(ie. http://portal.company.com/sites/procurement/teamsite/lists or http://portal.company.com/sites/procurement/teamsite/documents)

  • Save the module and it should be working

Tips

  • If some thing are not quite working, maybe your Sharepoint has some different URL variables. Your can always check with your standard Sharepoint SearchFunction to customize to your Company.
