Search Commands

CorasWorks has built in a few commands so that certain actions can 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 display the administration interface within the web part area, allowing the administrator to define the sites and lists returned to the web part. This option is only available to site collection and/or site/web administrators and in shared view.

:refresh:

This will refresh the current cache if caching is enabled. If Cache Per User is chosen, this will only refresh the cache for the user activating this command. If the opposite is true, the cache will be reset for all users.

:version:

This will show the version window within the web part area to the current 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 items with the login name of the individual executing the search. This command does not function for anonymous users.
