Certified Developer v6	Dave - 5/28/2013 3:36:35 PM Smart Search Filter/Results Hi, I'd like to use a custom Grid control (specifically Telerik's RadGrid) to display the results of a Smart Search. I do need to use Search Filters on the page. Do you have any examples of how to expose the search results as a DataSource control, or otherwise? Thanks, Dave

RE:Smart Search Filter/Results

Take a look at the Smart Search webpart (CMSWebparts/SmartSearch/SearchResults/ascx). It uses the control from the Smart Search module (CMSModules/SmartSearch/Controls/SearchResults.ascx). In there they show on about line 1293 the Search() method. You should be able to get your dataset results from that method and hook them up to your RadGrid.
