Step 1: Changes to the <HEAD> section of the Page

...

The following JavaScript needs to be installed on every page of your site. The block should look as follows. Please either adjust or add as needed. The enginename is the engine ID associated with your Hawksearch account. The ClientGuid is the Tracking Key associated with your account. To lookup the Engine Name and Tracking Key for your account please look in the Hawksearch workbench under Admin >> Account Info.

Code Block
languagejs
<!-- Hawksearch Header Includes -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  //<![CDATA[
  (function (HawkSearch, undefined) {
    HawkSearch.BaseUrl = 'http://dev.hawksearch.net/sites/%%enginename%%';
    HawkSearch.HawkUrl = HawkSearch.BaseUrl;
    HawkSearch.TrackingUrl = 'http://tracking-dev.hawksearch.net';
    HawkSearch.RecommenderUrl = 'http://recs-dev.hawksearch.net';
    HawkSearch.ClientGuid = '%%tracking_key%%';
    if ("https:" == document.location.protocol) {
    HawkSearch.BaseUrl = HawkSearch.BaseUrl.replace("http://", "https://");
    HawkSearch.HawkUrl = HawkSearch.HawkUrl.replace("http://", "https://");
    HawkSearch.TrackingUrl = HawkSearch.TrackingUrl.replace("http://", "https://");
    HawkSearch.RecommenderUrl = HawkSearch.RecommenderUrl.replace("http://", "https://");
  }
}(window.HawkSearch = window.HawkSearch || {}));
    var hawkJSScriptDoc = document.createElement("script");
    hawkJSScriptDoc.async = true;
    hawkJSScriptDoc.src = HawkSearch.HawkUrl + '/includes/hawksearch.min.js?v1.0';
    var hawkJSTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; hawkJSTag.parentNode.insertBefore(hawkJSScriptDoc, hawkJSTag);
    var hawkCSSScriptDoc = document.createElement("link"); hawkCSSScriptDoc.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
    hawkCSSScriptDoc.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
    hawkCSSScriptDoc.setAttribute("href", HawkSearch.HawkUrl + '/includes/hawksearch.css'); document.head.appendChild(hawkCSSScriptDoc);
  //]]>
</script>

Step 2: Enable

...

Autocomplete for Search Results

Please include the following script right before the closing </BODY> tag on every page to make sure the auto complete JavaScript is bound to the search textbox. This will ensure that the auto complete results are displayed as soon as the user starts typing in the text box.
To determine what needs to be displayed in this area, please make changes within the Hawksearch Dashboard.

...

Step 3: Define the Search Results Layout

Within the <BODY> <body> area of the search page, you must include the following <DIV> empty <div> elements with ids as specified below (initially empty) – the inner HTML of these div tags will be replaced automatically by Hawksearch.:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div id="hawkbannerlefttop" ></div>
<div id="hawkbannerleftbottom" ></div>
<div id="hawkbannertop" ></div>
<div id="hawkfacets"></div>
<div id="hawkbreadcrumb"></div>
<div id="hawkpagecustomhtml"></div>
<div id="hawktoptext"></div>
<div id="hawktabs"></div>
<div id="hawktoppager"></div>
<div id="hawkitemlist"></div>
<div id="hawkbottompager"></div>
<div id="hawkbannerbottom"></div>
<div id="hawkbannerbottom2"></div>
<div id="hawkexplain"></div>
<div id="hawksmartbug"></div>

Details are as follows:

<div id="hawkbannerlefttop" ></div>

...

This <DIV> represents a placeholder for the area on the page where the bread crumb for the search page will be inserted.

<div id="hawkpagecustomhtml"></div>

This <DIV> is used as container for content from Custom HTML field from the Landing Pages. 

<div id="hawktoptext"></div>

This <DIV> represents a placeholder on the page where custom messages for events such as spell checking suggestions, expanding the search to perform the “OR” operation will be displayed. This should be usually placed above the search results on the page
