SharePoint 2007 Search Box

Hi,

this should work with jQuery but please review the HTML output of your page and adjust the selectors.

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            var $searchbox = $("select[id$='SBScopesDDL']");
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('Singapore')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('East')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('West')").remove();
        }); 
    </script>

Select allOpen in new window

Hi Rainer, thanks for the quick response!

I tried and nothing happened, this is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            var $searchbox = $("select[id$='SBScopesDDL']");
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('Singapore')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('East')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('West')").remove();
        });
    </script>

I have attached my page code here as page.aspx

And is it possible to then, remove the dropdown since now its defaulted to:

This Site

Hi,
sorry there is no attachment. Please attach the page source (generated HTML) as text file.

Thanks and KR
Rainer

Here it is
page.txt

Go to the site collection settings, and change the search settings to use only the scopes that you want to use.

@Koen that will affect my main site so i can't use that.

Hi,
I can not find any option inside the HTML which states "Singapore" or West?
Can you perhaps make and attach a screenshot, where the search box is and with the options?
Other question: how did you add the search box / what search box did you add?

Thanks and KR
Rainer

I added the default Search box from the webpart list, didnt change any options.

The options are from the site collection settings.

Is the code correct?

Please assist. Thanks!

Hi,
in your question you said you want to remove the options
- Singapore (default)
- East
- West

In your attached HTML code, there are two search boxes:
- the one from the top (web part id WebPartWPQ1)

<select name="ctl00$PlaceHolderSearchArea$ctl01$SBScopesDDL" id="ctl00_PlaceHolderSearchArea_ctl01_SBScopesDDL" title="Search Scope" class="ms-sbscopes">
						<option value="This Site">This Site: K1 PvB</option>
						<option selected="selected" value="http://k1.zone1.company.com/sites/sg/search/results.aspx">K1SG</option>
						<option value="http://k1.zone1.company.com/sites/sg/search/results.aspx">Promotions &amp; Campaigns</option>
						<option value="http://k1.zone1.company.com/sites/sg/search/results.aspx">Processes</option>
						<option value="">Forms Checklists Letters</option>
						<option value="">Policies DOA Terms &amp; Conditions</option>
						<option value="">Tools and Calculator</option>
						<option value="">System Guide</option>
						<option value="">Pricing Rates &amp; Fees</option>
						<option value="">Contact List</option>
 
					</select>

Select allOpen in new window

- the one from the web part added to the page (web part id WebPartWPQ15)
 with the same options (but a different ID)

Therefore both search scope selects do not contain the elements you want to remove - hence the jQuery selector would not find anything.

If you want to remove all entries despite
"This Site: K1 PvB"
only from the scope drop down in the added search box then the jquery will look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            var $searchbox = $("select[id$='4dc053104f71_SBScopesDDL']");
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('K1SG')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('Promotions')").remove();
            $searchbox.find("option:contains('Processes')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('Forms Checklists Letters')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('Policies DOA Terms')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('Tools and Calculator')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('System Guide')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('Pricing Rates')").remove();
			$searchbox.find("option:contains('Contact List')").remove();
        }); 
    </script>

wrong page sorry! but i will try it, thanks!

Just tried, it didn't work!

This is the code:

<DIV id=SRSB>
<DIV style="WIDTH: 335px" id=ctl00_m_g_0ab9b6f3_3f16_4fe7_92f9_4dc053104f71><INPUT id=ctl00_m_g_0ab9b6f3_3f16_4fe7_92f9_4dc053104f71_ctl00 value=http://k1.zone1.scb.net/sites/sg/k1_sg/PvB type=hidden name=ctl00$m$g_0ab9b6f3_3f16_4fe7_92f9_4dc053104f71$ctl00>
<TABLE class="ms-sbtable ms-sbtable-ex" border=0>
<TBODY>
<TR class=ms-sbrow>
<TD class="ms-sbscopes ms-sbcell"><SELECT id=ctl00_m_g_0ab9b6f3_3f16_4fe7_92f9_4dc053104f71_SBScopesDDL class=ms-sbscopes title="Search Scope" name=ctl00$m$g_0ab9b6f3_3f16_4fe7_92f9_4dc053104f71$SBScopesDDL> <OPTION value="This Site">This Site: K1 PvB</OPTION> 
..........................

Select allOpen in new window

Rainer, any idea?

Edit the search box web part "Dropdown mode" under "Scopes Dropdown" to "Do not show scopes dropdown, default to contextual scope".

But the search scopes are not removed yet?

Please assist. Thanks.

I don't understand your question.

Your desired results, from your initial question:

The "Contextual Scope" option will set the search to show only results in that subsite. The "Do not show scopes dropdown" will stop users from picking a different scope.

If I select 'Do not show scopes dropdown' it will search the default scope and not This Site.

If I select 'Show Contextual Scope' it will show the rest of the scopes, which i do not wish it to show.

I like it to show only

This Site.

I apologize. I was looking at a 2010 installation, where there is an option to do both at once.  Sorry to have wasted your time.

No worries. Anyone knows?

Hi,
sorry have been very very busy on a project.
As I know that the jquery removal works on a couple of customers, can you open the page in IE, save the whole pages as mht file and attach this one?
It must be something with the jquery selector.
Thanks and hth
Rainer

Here's the page aspx code.

Thanks!!

<link rel="stylesheet" href="System/Styles/main.css"/>

The script and the page.aspx attached above.

Hi,
I just opened the attached page, modified the path to the jQuery library (because of not having your server paths) and voila - the result is as I expected:


So there are two open questions:
- Why does it not work on your side?
Can you verify that the reference to jQuery is correct? First of all it seems to be a quite old version and second if nothing happens, then it must be that the jQuery call cannot be run

- There is still the discrepancy between your original question and the current code
In your page sample there is no search scope "East" nor "West"....

I will try with the latest jquery

Doesn't work though.

Thanks.

Any updates?

Anyone can assist?
