Hi there
I wrote a plugin based on the RetrieveMultiple' message to filter the article on a custom field 'Business Unit' (as others have done here) many months ago. This works beautifully in all views and users can only see articles in their own business unit when
searching. It seems though that if they type into the search box the RetrieveMultiple message is not the message that is being called.
According to Microsoft 'RetrieveMultiple' is triggerred for Quicksearch,Advanced Find etc)
However, from my research it would seem that the is a different search going on in kbarticle when the user types into the search box on a list view.
Apparently this is posting to the message 'SearchByKeywordsKbArticle' which I cannot add via the Plugin Registration tool. Sigh!
So users have found that if they luck out on typing in an article name or number correctly then they can find items that they should not.
I am stumped here and am looking for suggestions from all the kind people out there :-)
Have looked at
1. Ways of changing the SQL Index Search.
2. Way of adding a plugin for the above message 'SearchByKeywordsKbArticle'
3. Hiding the 'search' box on the list view (nasty)
I do not have anything workable so far
I would love any help or suggestions
Thank you!
