Search box Web Part

The 'Search box' Web Part allows users to enter free text search queries connected to a 'Data Visualizer' Web Part.

Configuration

Search box settings

Setting	Description	Default value
Placeholde text	The placeholder text to display in the search box.	"Enter your search terms..."
Send the query to a new page	Sends the search query text to a new page. From here you can select the page URL, the open behavior and send method (URL fragment '#' or a query string parameter). The input value can be transformed before sending it to another page. {inputQueryText} is replaced with the value from the search box and other tokens are also supported.	False

Query suggestions

The query suggestions allows users to easily find relevant query keywords based on their entry:

Setting	Description	Default value
Enable query suggestions	Enable or disable query suggestions.	False
Configure available providers	Enable or disable the suggestions providers available for this Web Part. By default, only the "SharePoint Static search suggestions" is available (disabled by default). To add values for this provider, refer to the following documentation (caution: it can take up to 24h for changes to take effect). Multiple providers can be enabled at once.
Number of suggestions to show per group	The number of suggestions to show per group.	10

Connections

Optionally, you can set a default query text coming from an other dynamic data source on the page. For instance, connect the search box to a page environment variable like a query string parameter. The value retrieved from a connected data source will be displayed automatically at page load in the text box if present and broadcasted to any other Web Parts connected to the search box Web Part (ex: a 'Data Visualizer' Web Part) resulting to a cascading effect.
