We have added a new CQL Search Table Macro which

CQL Search Macro 

1. Support for wildcard searching to improve the quality of the search results

The searching by title is done with an exact match. If we are searching with "Guide", pages with titles containing "Guides" are not returned.

You can have the option to choose $$query*$$ instead of $$query$$ depending whether you need a similar or exact match.

Please view How to Search Content effectively with Titles for more details.


2. Searching for related content with the Page Title 

It is now possible to list related content conveniently without having to handcraft the CQL for each page.

By using $self as the Default Query Term field, the macro will use the current page title as the query term to execute the search.

Please view How to use CQL Macro to build a corporate encyclopedia for more details.


3. Customised "No Results Found" message

Users can now configure the default message provided when no results are returned to better suit their needs. 

Please view How to Improve Feedback for Users when No Results are Found for more details.

4. Info icon to indicate CQL configured for page 

If you hover over the (info) info, the CQL used for the search will be displayed.

This improvement allows users to see the CQL configured conveniently without having to edit the page to check the macro settings.
