Sharepoint search, redirect from OSSSearchResults.aspx to Search centre

Question

Hi, i have a question about configuration fo search pages in sharepoint. There are two types of searches:

1. contextual which searches just in current page or list (they are labelled like: This site: Name of site or This list: Name of list), they point to OSSSearchResults.aspx page
2. custom searches which can be user defined, they point to Search center

Custom searches are not a problem, since search center can be modified easily, but with contextual searches there is a problem.

So, is there a way to configure sharepoint so it will send users to search center even with contextual searches?

I know that i can insert some javascript into OSSSearchResults.aspx or create HttpHandler which will redirect him automatically, but i wonder if there is some more native solution.

Answer 1

I wrote an article that might help you configure this.

Answer 2

Thanks for article..I understand that it is not really possible to configure other receiving page for contextual search.. I guess we will have to disable them and use just custom scopes instead
