Enabling Actions in Search Results

To display result actions in your result lists, you must do the following:

1. Establish the desired metadata columns as managed properties in SharePoint (see “Establishing Custom Properties in SharePoint”).

2. Configure the relevant managed properties as result-action properties for Search & Preview (see “The Search Result Actions Page”).

3. For each relevant Search & Preview SharePoint Search Result Web Part that is on a result page where you want to include result actions, configure the Miscellaneous Options settings so that the Enable Search Result Actions checkbox is marked. See “Search & Preview SharePoint Search Result Web Part” for details about how to make these settings.
