Additional Parameters for Weblink Search

asked on March 17, 2023

Hi all,

I'm wondering there is a way to search for additional parameters in addition to the parameters present in the Search URL.

For instance:
https://forms.myorganization.org/pdo/Search.aspx?searchcommand=({[Repository]:[FieldParameter]="LastName")

This will search for the FieldParameter in Repository that matches with whatever LastName may be. I want to know if there is a way to add parameters to the search from the options on the left(Customize Search, Records Management) that can be searched for in addition to the parameters already in the Search URL. Alternatively, is there a way to automatically populate the search options with the parameters from the Search URL so that users do not need to re-enter parameters to narrow down the results from the Search URL?

In the attached screenshot, the Search URL searches for the Tidemark Parcel Number in the Tidemark Archive. I want to be able to add a search for the Field "Tidemark Document Description" on the left so that if I hit the Submit button, it searches within the Tidemark Archive for documents matching the Tidemark Document Description in the Search Field and the Tidemark Parcel Number from the Search URL. Currently, if I add the Tidemark Document Description, enter "Document Example" and press Submit, a new search is performed that stays within the Tidemark Archive repository but no longer searches for the Tidemark Parcel Number.

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

Yes, you can add search parameters using the URL. Here's a link with more details. You'll have to make sure the parameters that you manually add are URL encoded, or it will not work.

Kevin,

Thank you for the response, but that doesn't accomplish what I am asking. I know I can generate a new search URL, but what I need is to be able to use the search box on the left to narrow down the results from the initial search URL further.

For instance, if my search URL searched for all documents with the template of "Contract", I would want to be able to use the search boxes on the left to add a document name to the initial search, so that I could hit Submit and search for all documents with the template of "Contract" that include documents named "Concrete".
