AXIS gives you two options for presenting search results. The default *Search* page has a simple, predefined layout. The *Enhanced Search* page offers greater configurability, giving you more control over the look and feel of the search results page. To learn how the search function itself can be configured, read our [Enhanced Search](/v1/docs/enhanced-search) article. This article covers the Enhanced Search page and explains the options for configuring it. --- ## What is the Enhanced Search page? The search page template controls how search results are presented to users. AXIS provides two search page templates, giving you a range of options for defining the layout of the *search results page*: - A default *Search* page with a predefined layout, allowing you to get up and running with minimal effort - An *Enhanced Search* page offering greater configurability and choice of rows ![Search_page_options.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584768588700.png) ### How do I configure the Enhanced Search page? To set up and configure a new Enhanced Search page, start by selecting the template from the [sitemap](/v1/docs/understanding-the-sitemap) (*Display* > *Pages* > *Sitemap* > *New Page* > *Enhanced Search*). Search pages are system pages, so make sure *View system pages* has been selected in the top right. ![Enhanced_Search_page_selection.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584732591516.png) Populate the page metadata as you would for any other new page, then select ![How_to_Add_a_page_-_Create_page.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584776301212.png) - read more about the process of [selecting and creating pages](/v1/docs/select-or-create-a-page). Now you’re ready to add and configure the rows for each page row region. The Enhanced Search page supports several search-specific row types, described below, as well as a number of standard row types. For a list of **all** row types supported on this page, have a look at our article on [pages and supported rows](/v1/docs/pages-and-supported-rows). #### Search row types > [!NOTE] > **Note:** *SSB1 - Simple Search Bar, SR2 - Search results (2:3)* and *SRP1 – Search results (Cast and crew)* are automatically added to the page when you create it. You can add to or edit these rows as needed. **Page header** - *Simple Search Bar - SSB1*: This is the search bar header/hero row, where users enter their search query. **Page body** The search results feed the dynamic rows mentioned below: - *Search results (Cast and Crew) - SRP1*: a search results row designed to display people (personas) - *Search results rows - SR1-6*: search results body rows offering 6 different aspect ratios - *Continuous scroll search results rows - SRCS1-4*: continuous scroll search results body rows offering 4 different aspect ratios Static rows display the same on every search page, regardless of what is searched for. The static rows mentioned below are typically used to promote other content or to make sure something is displayed in the case of no matching search results: - P1 - P2 - T1 - T2 - T3 - ED1 - ED2 - TX1 - PR1 - ED4 - ED5 See examples of these rows in our [search rows](/v1/docs/search-rows) article. #### Configuring the body rows Once you’ve added them to your page, you can configure the **SR** and **SRCS** body rows to display specific asset types (**SRP1** is pre-configured to display *people*). Clicking on the *Any Asset Type* dropdown allows you to select one or more asset types matching the user’s search to be displayed in the row. ![Enhanced_search_-_select_asset_type.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584863655836.png) As you make your selections, the row preview displays the options you’ve defined, as shown below. ![Enhanced_search_-_Row_preview.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584852106908.png) In addition to asset types, you can filter on *Device*, *User group*, *Segmentation tag*, and *Date* in the same way as for other page rows. Read our article for more information about [rows](/v1/docs/rows) and how to customize them. #### Some sample page scenarios The following scenarios outline some of the ways you can configure the page. **Scenario 1: Entertainment and sport asset types** In the first image from Presentation Manager, two **SR1** rows have been added to the page body. The first row, labelled ‘*Entertainment*’, is configured to display any *movie* and *TV show* assets returned in the search, while the second row, ‘*Sport*’, will display *confederation* and *competition* assets. The second image shows you how the search results would appear in the desktop web app: two horizontal rows of assets of the specified type, with a 2:3 aspect ratio. ![Enhanced search Presentation Manager (scenario 1)](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/Enhanced search scenario 1.png) ![Enhanced_Search_scenario1_-_FE.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584898896412.png) **Scenario 2: All asset types** In the second scenario, a single **SRCS1** row labelled ‘*Everything*’ has been configured to display **all** asset types returned in the search. **SRCS** rows are best used as the *only* row type on your search results page. If other search results are displayed in rows beneath the **SRCS** row, users may not see them. You can see the search results page in the app, with a continuously scrolling row of 2:3 assets of all types: *movie*, *competition*, *tv show*, etc. ![Enhanced search Presentation Manager (scenario 2)](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/Enhanced search scenario 2.png) ![Enhanced_Search_scenario2_-_Desktop.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4584907898652.png) Read our [search](/v1/docs/search) article to learn more about how AXIS calculates search results.
