Site Search Page

This page template is used for the global site search results page.

How It Works

  • Uses custom Elastic search.
  • By default, all applicable pages on the site are searchable. 
    • Pages with their Exclude From Search checkbox checked are excluded from search.
    • The following page types are excluded from search by default:
      • Homepage
      • Site Search Page
      • Syndication Feed Page
      • Diagram Training Page
  • Results data:
  • Sort by relevance: Results with a keyword match in one of the following fields are ranked higher:
    • Page Name
    • Teaser Text
  • Sort by newest/date:
    • For articles, videos, podcasts, webinars, & news/press: The custom Publish Date field is used.
    • For events: The custom Start Date/Time field is used.
    • For all other page types: The out-of-the-box Published field is used (editable through the Settings tab).

How to Set Up Best Bets (Suggested Results)

Access Level: Administrators

Best bets allow administrators to associate a specific search term with the desired page result so it's the first item shown in the site search.
For example, if users search for "HR" you can use best bets to prioritize the "Compensation Resources" page as the first result shown. 

  1. Navigate to Search Engine > Best Bets
  2. Enter the specific search term into the Phrase field (ex. HR).
  3. Select the page you want to prioritize when users search for the phrase (ex. Compensation Resources).
  4. Click Add.
