  • Setting the target on the result links

    Hi, when people click on the result links on my search results page, I need the links to use the target "_parent". Right now it seems to be going to _self.

    For example I need the result links to have a target like this:
    <a href="http://mysiteeeee.com" target="_parent">go to site</a>

    Is there a way to do this? I'm using the "javascript platform" method and I checked the settings.js files but don't see anything for this except mabye UseLinkTarget but I am not sure what that is for?

    Thanks for the help

    You need to change the "Results linking" settings in the "Search page" configuration window. No need to look inside the JS source code.

        More Tweaking

        Hello,

        I found this message and I need to tweak the results even more.

        Example of results:

        1. http://localhost:100/
        Termos encontrados: 1 - Relevāncia: 15
        2. http://localhost:100/Galeria.html
        Termos encontrados: 1 - Relevāncia: 15
        3. http://localhost:100/Solucoes.html
        Termos encontrados: 1 - Relevāncia: 14

        The first result I don't want to be shown because it's the index page, but my biggest issue is that when I click the link I don't want to open a new window or a new tab and it's making.

        Using the Config Tool, at Search Page, I have the results linking as "Current Page" which works, so i see these results in the same webpage, now how can I make the Link Result to be also in this page?

        Regards,
        Pedro ( GasPower )

          Adding this meta tag on your page will stop the index page being indexed.
          <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

          I don't really understand the rest of the issue. If result linking to the "current page" works, then how can it also not work?

            Found the issue

            Hello,

            thank you for the reply.
            I'm going to test that line.

            About the issue, I was saving the file in another location, so actually I have 2 search.js files.

            I found the problem and it works.

            Thank you

              &quot;Search page&quot; config window

              I'm new at this - "You need to change the "Results linking" settings in the "Search page" configuration window."

              Where is the config window you are referring to?

                The Search Page configuration window is under the menu,
                Configure / Search Page.
