1. Main problems and annoyances you encounter when using ActionApps
Search in multiple channels and personalization of the design of search results

The AA allow to make a search in multiple slices. If these slices have different fields structure, I can extend the search to other slices, including the line <input type="hidden" name="conds[1][headline........]" value="1"> in the <form> for each given field.

Nevertheless, the design of the result of the search will follow the design that is defined in the index view of the slice, since the form points to a shtml file in which the virtual include of the slice is included. The problem is that in other slices I might have defined other different fields and designs from different indexes. The ideal would be to have a sort of view that allows to define a specific design for the search results, independently of the index design defined in the slice.

ORIGINAL

Búsqueda en múltiples canales y personalización del diseño del resultado

Las AA permiten realizar una búsqueda en multiples slices. Si estos slices tienen campos distintos entre si, puedo extender la búsqueda a otros slices incluyendo en el <form> la línea <input type="hidden" name="conds[1][headline........]" value="1"> por cada campo en cuestión.

Sin embargo, el diseño del resultado de la búsqueda se mostrará con el diseño que tenga definido la vista índice del slice, ya que el form apunta a un archivo .shtml en el que está incluido el include virtual de un slice. El problema está en que en otros slices puedo tener definidos otros campos diferentes y diseños de índices diferentes.

Lo ideal sería tener un tipo de vista que permita definirle un diseño específico al resultado de la búsqueda, independientemente del diseño índice que tenga definido el slice.
