Search Commands

CorasWorks has built in a few commands that allow certain actions to be activated directly from the Search textbox in the web part, bypassing the need to access the web part properties. These commands can be activated by typing the desired phrase and clicking on the Search button.

:admin:

This will show the Administration view of the web part area to an Administrator, allowing them to determine the lists and schemas utilized by the web part. This option is only available to Site Collection and/or Site/Web Administrators and in Shared View.

:corasworks:

This will hide the “Powered by CorasWorks” text located on the left side of the search bar. To return this text to the display, enter the command again. This option is only available to administrators. Keep in mind that since this command is typed into the search bar, a search on the command text will also be performed, so you will want to refresh the page after executing this command.

:search:

This will hide the search bar from within the web part. If you wish to return the search bar back to the web part display, you will need to manually edit the DWP properties. This option is only available to administrators.

:version:

This will show the version window within the web part area to the user, allowing them to view the application, version, organization, authors, and build date of the web part. The Close Version Window link returns the page back to its original state. No other users will see the version information; the version information is actually displayed on a separate page with “?version=coras” at the end of the URL.

NOTE: Because all CorasWorks web parts utilize this as a means for viewing the version, all CorasWorks web parts on the page will respond when this action is selected. This allows you to identify all web parts created by CorasWorks, with the corresponding information.

[Me]

This will search throughout all the returned lists for the login name of the individual executing the search. This command does not function for anonymous users.
