I tested a few conditions and may have narrowed down on the problem. The issue is that of not having case insensitiveness in XPATH.

Peter: Awesome solution!
I’m able to get the solution to work on a DEWP when it is from a single source but then I took it a step further and created a linked source based on multiple document libraries.

When the filter criteria is added it makes no difference to the web part, it continue to show all results

When the Search DWP is added, it produces a blank result. Any assistance and guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Ruth,

I have updated the solution with you request. It now keeps the search term in the search box after a search.

Peter,

Awesome solution, worked perfectly for me. One question though: Would it be possible (and if so, how?) to input the search term back into the text box when the user searches for a particular term.

As it is, when a user submits any search, the results appear, but the only way for them to see exactly what they searched for is to look at the query string in the URL. Is there any way to put that term back in the search box when the page loads the search results?

Thank you for a great solution.

I had a similer type of solution that I discovered way back.

Hi
I wonder what´s the difference from your search webpart and the standard SP searchwebpart?
I have used both and cannot spot any differences, so please enlighten me ;-)
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for a great solution!

Is it possible to…

1. Enable the edit link for the dokuments in the serach results? (as in the arrow in “normal” doc library when holding over the dokument link)

2. By default show all documents when loading the search page, and then make the search to narrow down the results?

Thank you.

Good, can you give me the names of the third solutions and how I can locate them.

Again, am I to instal the third party application on the server?

Again this is not part of this solution. A third party solution would be able to do this for you.
