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.

In the following example loadservices.xml is created under ../pages/search/products

loadschemes.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><dataset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../xsd/search.xsd">
