Formatting the "search dialog"-webpart
Hello,

I need to format the "Search dialog" for a specific website layout.

If possible the search dialog should be:


Search in:
[Search scope]

Search for:
[Textbox]

[Start]-Button


I couldn't find a way to do so. Is it possible?

If you click the "configure" link for that webpart, you will be able to change the following:

Search dialog settings

Search button text: Start
Search label text: Search for:
Search mode label text:
Search scope label text: Search in:

Hello forrester,

the layout of the original webpart is:


Search for: [textbox] [Go]-Button<br/>
Search in: [search scope dropdown]


but I need:

Search in:<br/>
[Search scope dropdown]<br/>
<br/>
Search for:<br/>
[Textbox]<br/>
<br/>
[Start]-Button

The description text is not the problem. Any idea?

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. I think you will need to modify the source code in Visual Studio or create your own custom 'search' webpart with your desired layout.

Hi,

I'm working with Kentico version 6.
Did this change already?
Can I change the layout of the (Smart)SearchDialog (editing transformation)?

Regards,
Jorik

Hi,

The Smart Search Dialog web part is based on the control
~\CMSModules\SmartSearch\Controls\SearchDialog.ascx
This is the same in version 6.0 - you could basically clone the web part, copy the control code and adjust the layout according to your needs.
