This article pertains to the Coveo Hive framework which is now in maintenance mode.

Choose one of Coveo’s more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries for any future search interface development. See the search interface Implementation guide for more details.

Preferences Menu Option | Coveo for Sitecore 5 Implements the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework PreferencesPanel component which renders a Preferences item in the Settings popup menu.

When website visitors select the Preferences option, a modal is displayed allowing them to specify and save search interface customization options (see Coveo Results Preferences).

Usage notes

  • The Coveo for Sitecore implementation adds a Preferences Panel placeholder, accessible through the Settings popup menu, in which you can insert preferences renderings, such as the Coveo Results Preferences rendering.

  • Coveo for Sitecore currently only supports the ResultsPreferences Coveo JavaScript Search Framework component. The ResultsFiltersPreferences component isn’t supported.
