Tabbed Search

Tabbed Search is a faceted search interface in SearchBlox v12.
It lets you view search results in separate tabs based on collections. You can see results from all collections together or switch between individual collection tabs.

To access the Tabbed plugin, use the link in your build:
https://localhost:8443/tabbed/index.html

Prerequisite

Please create multiple collections so you can view and compare the results in the tabbed plugin.

Steps to use Tabbed Plugin

After creating and indexing the collections, open the plugin using:
https://localhost:8443/tabbed/index.html
Then perform some searches to see how the results appear.

Configuring Collection tabs for Tabbed Plugin

You can choose which collections appear in the tabs by editing the facet.js file. Specify the collection ID and the display name for each collection. To create a tab that shows all collections, leave the collection ID empty. Use this section in facet.js to customize how collections are displayed in the tabs.

"collectionNameDisplay" : [
      {"colId":"","colNameDisplay":"All"},
      {"colId":"1","colNameDisplay":"HTTP"},
      {"colId":"2","colNameDisplay":"News"},
      {"colId":"3","colNameDisplay":"File"},
      {"colId":"4","colNameDisplay":"Database"},
      {"colId":"5","colNameDisplay":"CSV"}
    ],
