Hi there,

We currently have the search results page set up that the results are only listed with their KB-no, instead of the actual title of the knowledge base item.

If there are multiple results, this is not very user friendly and why we want to change it to contain also the title of the knowledge base item. I found the following in code:

<ul class='search-results'>
{% for result in searchindex.results %}
<li>
<h4>
<a title='{{ result.title | escape }}' href='{{ result.url | escape }}'>{{ result.title }}</a>
</h4>
<p class='fragment'>{{ result.fragment }}</p>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
 
But I have no idea what to fill in with <a title> so that it also contains the name of the KB item.
 
Any assistance? 
 
Thanks,
Robbert

Hi,

To enhance your search results page in Power Pages (formerly known as Power Apps Portals) by including the title of each Knowledge Base (KB) item alongside its number, you'll need to modify the page template or the code used to render the search results.

If you're using Liquid templates to render the search results, you can modify the template to include both the KB number and title. Here’s how you might do it:

{% if search_results %}
<ul>
    {% for result in search_results %}
      <li>
        <a href="{{ result.url }}" title="{{ result.title }}">
          {{ result.kb_number }}: {{ result.title }}
        </a>
      </li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No results found.</p>
{% endif %}

Make sure that the fields you’re referencing (url, title, kb_number) are available in your search results data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Not sure you will be able to do what you want, it is made more difficult as the results from search itself do not expose all fields on the underlying record and search often is configured to run over multiple record types, see the attributes/properties available

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/liquid-objects#search-index-results

to get additional information you may potentially need to get the Id and entity logical name out of the result and use them to know what table your result is for and then get the additional field data either from the entity object in the results object or to directly reference the underlying record using the id
