Issue

  • We use SearchBarPortlet in our public and private appearance themes. Also, we have configured as 'destination', a results page with '/search-results' as friendlyURL. This page exists as public and private.

  • However, when we do some search from private pages, the results are always showed on the public page ('/web/search-results').

  • Is there any way that the search done from a private page shows the results on the private page ('/group/search-results') ?

Environment

  • 2023.Q4

Resolution

  • To select the destination layout to show search results follows this logic:
    1. Firstly, a public layout with the configured friendlyURL is searched.
    2. If no layout is found then a private layout with the configured friendlyURL is searched.
