In SharePoint Site search boxes will crawl the data from
local sites. We can see “Expand your search” link that redirects the search
center, whenever we configure the global search center in the application. We
can configure the search boxes in site level and site collection level in site
settings (Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Search
Settings) Site level (Site Settings -> Search -> Search Settings)
In SharePoint it is always not possible to modify in all the sites
and site collections. Steve Mann wrote power shell commands to loop all the site collections and apply search
center URL.
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication “Web Application URL”
foreach ($siteColl in $webApp.Sites)
{
if ($siteColl -ne $null)
{
$site = Get-SPWeb $ siteColl.Url
$site.AllProperties["SRCH_SB_SET_SITE"] =
{"Inherit":false,"ResultsPageAddress":"/sites/SearchCenter/Pages/results.aspx","ShowNavigation":false}'
$site.AllProperties["SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL_SITE"] = '/sites/SearchCenter/Pages'
$site.Update();
}
}
foreach ($siteColl in $webApp.Sites)
{
if ($siteColl -ne $null)
{
$site = Get-SPWeb $ siteColl.Url
$site.AllProperties["SRCH_SB_SET_SITE"] =
{"Inherit":false,"ResultsPageAddress":"/sites/SearchCenter/Pages/results.aspx","ShowNavigation":false}'
$site.AllProperties["SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL_SITE"] = '/sites/SearchCenter/Pages'
$site.Update();
}
}
Here SRCH_SB_SET_SITE, SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL_SITE are properties.
