Creating Search Pages

To create a new search page, you need to create a single XML file and place it under: ../pages/search/<module_name>/ directory. 

An SQL determines the information that will be retrieved and specified fields will be able to be displayed and/or searched for. 

 

In this case, we create a directory named The results are retrieved based on an SQL script constructed using the information from the XML file and the criteria entered by the user.


In the following example loadservices.xml is created under ../pages/search/inventory and then we create a new XML file named loadwarehouses.xml
