Enabling Mini-Results in Search Interfaces With the .NET Interface Editor

Mini-results correspond to a short list of results from a Coveo .NET Front-End search interface other than the current one. The mini-results list appears at the top of the interface, before the normal results. Mini-results are useful to expand the scope of a given search interface.

Example: By default, the My Email search interface includes mini-results from the People search interface.

Mini-results come from one or more search interfaces available within the current hub. Consequently, when a search hub contains only one search interface, that search interface cannot include mini-results.

In the .NET Interface Editor, you can enable for each search interface if it can send mini-results to other search interfaces and if it can receive results from other search interfaces.

7. Under Edit Hub Content:

   1. Select the Enable mini queries from this search interface check box.

   2. When you want this search interface to also include mini-results from other search interfaces, select the Enable mini queries results in this search interface check box.
