I wanted to be able to open links in new windows since I noticed a lot of users often times were searching for say PDF’s and then they would accidentally close the browser instead of hitting the back button. Big annoyance for them.
So I was snooping around the Search Core Results Web Part’s XSL Editor to see if I could edit the XSL to open links in new windows instead. It’s actually pretty easy, here are the steps:
1. Go to http://portal/searchcenter/pages/results.aspx
2. Modify Shared Web Part for the Search Core Results WebPart
3. Click on the XSL Editor Button
4. I’d suggest copying the contents of the pop up into notepad/wordpad to do your editing.
5. Search for the following lines:
6. At the ends of each of the tags, you’ll want to add on target=”_blank”
For example to make the link attached to the document icon open in a new window, the full tag would be like this:
Using the same XSL Editor you can also manipulate how your search results are displayed and even include custom content types if you wanted to!
