The following example will create a Search Page to search all Live pages under a Site. The Search Page will include two search fields - one field to search the name of a page and its contents, and another field to search the description metadata of a page. On the results page, the user will be able to perform another search.

Before using this example, ensure that indexing has been enabled on your system. For more information, refer to the Search Manager chapter in this manual.
