Search Filters

The CUE search panel offers a set of search filters that allow users to narrow down the results of a search by limiting the results to all documents of a specified type or all documents created after a certain date, and so on. It is difficult to design a set of filters that meets all customers' requirements, so the CUE search filters are configurable. By editing a Content Store configuration file, you can:

• Determine which filters appear in the search panel's filters list

• Determine the order in which the filters appear

• Add your own custom filters

Exactly how you modify the search filters offered in the CUE search panel depends on whether your CUE installation has a CUE Content Store back end, or an Escenic Content Engine back end:

• If you have a CUE Content Store back end, then it is a Content Store configuration task. No configuration work is required in CUE itself. For instructions on how to modify CUE's search filters, see Custom Search Filter Definitions.

• If you have an Escenic Content Engine back end, then see Modifying the Search Filter Panel (Escenic Back End) below.
