When you've specified a search center, the search system displays a message to all the users, who are offering them the ability to try their search again from the search center.
Example- /SearchCenter/Pages or http://server/sites/SearchCenter/Pages
Which search results page should queries be sent to?
Custom results page URL's can be relative or absolute.
URL's can also include special tokens, such as {SearchCenterURL}. This token will be replaced by the value in the Search Center URL property. If the value in this property ever changes, any URL, using the token will update automatically.
Example
{SearchCenterURL}/results.aspx
![]()
Search Navigation allows the users to move quickly between search experiences listed in the navigation. Navigation is displayed in the Quick Launch control on the search pages and can also be shown as a dropdown menu from the search box.
