We use EV 7.5 and when we click on the Search Vaults icon in Outlook, you'll see the address of the page is using searcho2k.asp
We would like to change this to the use the search.asp instead. To be the default for all users. Where can we change this? Or isn't this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Olaf

Olaf, I do not have my 7.5

Olaf,

I do not have my 7.5 image handy but yes you can, look at the advanced settings and enable browser search.

 Olaf.. I'll help Wayne out

 Olaf..

I'll help Wayne out on this one ...  (no change there eh Wayne?!! :))

The setting is called Search Behaviour.  The default is : In Outlook

You can change this to "Separate Browser", and when you do, search.asp will be launched in Internet Explorer ... and no you can't make that appear in Outlook (as far as I know)

Thanks for the reply. Indeed

Thanks for the reply. Indeed this will bring up the search.asp, but when we would like to have the searcho2k.asp to be launched, since this gives more search functionality then the default search.asp. Is this possible?

Thanks again!

Hi Olaf, I think the buttons

Hi Olaf,

I think the buttons are probably hard coded in VB.  A really simple solution (although not ideal) would be to rename search.asp to searcho2k.asp that way the button will call your page.  You could swap the names, just remember which is which :)  Both can be found in c:\program files\enterprise vault\webapp\. 

Hope that helps a bit....

Cheers,
BZ

Hm, I was thinking about that

Hm, I was thinking about that but would rather not do that since other people may want to keep on using the original search.asp. Maybe I should ask a ASP programmer here to help me out here...

Try

Try "search.asp?advanced"

Would that be what you want?

Well, that is what I would

Well, that is what I would like, but the question is how do you you set that to be the default when you click the Search Vault button in Outlook? By default it opens in a browser the searcho2k.asp but we would like to see it opens search.asp or "search.asp?advanced".

I think the only way to do it

I think the only way to do it while not messing with the files directly is setup IIS to redirect to search.asp?advanced.
You do this in IIS Manager, search for the files (search.asp / searcho2k.asp) and click properties. Then select "A redirection to a URL" and choose search.asp?advanced
(I have not tested this, so be sure to test it out when set and reset it if something does not work)

Michelz Solution is good

Hi Olaf,

I think Michelz has the best solution for you here.  I just ran a test and redirected my searcho2k.asp to search.asp in IIS 6.0 and it worked fine.  Just make sure you redirect to your CNAME alias (i.e. http://evault/enterprisevault/search.asp)

Thanks,
BZ
