Adding or editing a search result display
A search result display controls the way that a list of search results appears and behaves to patrons. You can customize Searching for your patrons by creating or editing the search result display associated with specific profiles. A search result display allows you to control the search targets that are searched, the fields that are included with that search target, and the enriched content that is available to display.

If you add or edit the settings for a display, you must refresh the Discovery search cache afterwards. Your changes are not reflected in Searching or the Admin console until you refresh the search cache. For more information about refreshing the Discovery search cache, see Refreshing the search cache. |
