Member	eagleag - 6/28/2010 8:10:45 AM passing params from searchBox to searchResults Hi, Ive create a custom searchBox webpart with added dropdowns. I would like to send the info selected in search dropDowns to the searchResult webpart and have it load into (as the path): srchResults.Path = Path; How can I achieve this? do I need to use a formControl? macros? any other way?

RE:passing params from searchBox to searchResults

Hi,

You can send the custom data to searchResult webpart in the URL (using query string parameters).

Example:

Searchresultpage.aspx?custompath=/somepath

Then you can get the value from this URL using query string macro in your “Path” property of your searchResult webpart.

Example:

Path: {%custompath%}

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,
Miroslav Remias.
