This documentation is written for the 7.x-2.x version of Display Suite.

Display Suite can override the way that Drupal's (and Apache solr's) default search results are being displayed. This will be useful if you wanted to include images or file attachments in search results.

  • Enable the sub module Display Suite Search at Administration > Modules (admin/modules)
  • Go to Administration > Configuration > Search and metadata > Search settings (admin/config/search/settings)
  • Enable "Display Suite Search" in the section "Active search modules"
  • Choose "Display Suite Search" in the section "Default search module"
  • Click "Save configuration"

The search results are now displayed using a view mode that is controlled by Display Suite.

Display Suite offers some advanced settings, such as:

  • use an alternative view mode for results
  • highlight the search keyword
  • group results

To access the Display Suite Search settings go to Administration > Structure > Display Suite and click the secondary tab "Search" (admin/structure/ds/search)
