Search panel

Fully customizable panel. You can set the following parameters in kui-search-panel:

If everything is set to false or undefined the search-panel is a simple full-text search. Read more

Full-text search (Deprecated)

<kui-fulltext-search [route]="/search-results"></kui-fulltext-search>

The parameter route defines the route where the search-results-component of the app is defined.

We suggest to define a route for the search-results in the app.routing

        path: 'search',
        component: SearchComponent,         // --> Component with the search panel
        children: [
            {
                path: ':mode/:q/:project',
                component: SearchResultsComponent       // --> search results, in case of paramter filterByProject and/or projectFilter
            },
            {
                path: ':mode/:q',
                component: SearchResultsComponent
            }
        ]

Extended / advanced search

Generic search filter tool to limit search results to ontology and resource class and / or properties. Read more

If you want to use this search, you have to add the following css style to you main app stylesheet to style the date picker properly.

.mat-datepicker-content {
  .mat-calendar {
    height: auto !important;
  }
}

Setup

Import the search module in your app.module.ts and add it to the NgModules's imports:

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { KuiSearchModule } from '@knora/search';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        KuiSearchModule
    ],
    providers: [ ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

The search components need a global styling in the app to override some material styling rules. Please update your angular.json file as follow:

...
    "styles": [
        "src/styles.scss",
        "node_modules/@knora/search/assets/style/search.scss" // <- add this line
    ],
...
