Hello,

The approach for achieving the desired result is to make a custom SearchResults widget inheriting from the default one and using its template, which we will customize to add the widgets to display the required data. I have made a sample for you, where I use the base logic for the searching and only add the logic for displaying the desired data and sorting. Basically, you could get the fields of the result items and filter them, or use an item OriginalContentId to query it. The easiest way to get the items count is to get the number of items bound to the repeater, since there is no property set for this and the variable is 'hidden' in the base InitializeControls.

Code:

Copy Code

public class CustomSearch : SearchResults

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

get

return CustomSearch.CustomSearchLayoutTemplatePath;

set

base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

public Label TitleLabel

get

return this.Container.GetControl<Label>("Title", true);

public Label PagesLabel

get

return this.Container.GetControl<Label>("Pages", true);

public Button Sort

get

return this.Container.GetControl<Button>("Sort", true);

protected override void InitializeControls(Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.GenericContainer container)

base.InitializeControls(container);

this.Sort.Click += Sort_Click;

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.Query))

this.TitleLabel.Text = string.Format("You searched for '0'", this.Query);

var data = this.ResultsList.DataSource as IEnumerable<object>;

if (data != null)

var count = data.Count();

this.PagesLabel.Text = string.Format("0 Results Found", count.ToString());

if (count > 0)

this.Sort.Visible = true;

void Sort_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

var data = this.ResultsList.DataSource as IEnumerable<IDocument>;

data = data.OrderByDescending(t => t.GetValue("Title"));

this.ResultsList.DataSource = data;

this.ResultsList.DataBind();

private static string CustomSearchLayoutTemplatePath = "~/Widgets/CustomSearch/CustomSearchTemplate.ascx";

Template:

Copy Code

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity.Search.Impl" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Search.Web.UI.Public" TagPrefix="sfSearch" %>

<sfSearch:SearchBox ID="topSearchBox" runat="server" />

<asp:Label ID="Title" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>

<asp:Label ID="Pages" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>

<asp:Button ID="Sort" runat="server" Text="Sort" Visible="false" />

<asp:Repeater ID="resultsList" runat="server">

<HeaderTemplate>

<dl class="sfsearchResultsWrp sfsearchReultTitleSnippetUrl">

</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<dt class="sfsearchResultTitle"><a id="A1" runat="server" href='<%# Eval("Link")%>'><%# Eval("Title") %></a></dt>

<dd class="sfsearchResultSnippet"><%# Eval("Summary")%></dd>

<dd class="sfsearchResultUrl"><a id="A2" runat="server" href='<%# Eval("Link")%>'><%# Eval("Link")%></a></dd>

<dd class="sfsearchResultHighLighter"><%# Eval("HighLighterResult")%></dd>

</ItemTemplate>

<FooterTemplate>

</dl>

</FooterTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>

<sitefinity:Pager ID="pager" runat="server" />

<sfSearch:SearchBox ID="bottomSearchBox" runat="server" />

I hope you find this sample useful. You can use it as a starter to achieve your requirement.
