29. Custom Search#
29.1. Custom Search in Volto#
Volto has (since Volto 14) a Search-Block that allows you to build custom searches without additional addons.
29.2. Custom Search in Plone Classic#
If the Plone Classic chapters about Views (Views II: A Default View for "Talk") and catalog-searches ((Views III: A Talk List)) seem complex, the custom search add-ons shown below might be a great alternative until you feel comfortable writing views and templates.
Here are two add-ons that allow you to add custom searches and content listings through the web ("TTW", requiring no programming: only the web browser) in Plone.
29.2.2. collective.collectionfilter#
A more lightweight solution for custom searches and faceted navigation is collective.collectionfilter. By default it allows you to search among the results of a collection and/or filter the results by keywords, author or type.
It can also be extended quite easily to allow additional filters (like audience
).
