Sign up ×  My company is currently in the process of building a
CMS on top of Sharepoint 2010.  Part of the functionality of the
CMS will require being able to have a searchbox that searches
the contents of a specific list (both custom lists and external
content list types) and returns the list items relevant to the
search as the results.  My questions are:    1. Is it possible
to build a search webpart that only searches a specific list?
2. Is is possible to have an external content list sitting on
top of a database table via BCS searchable through Sharepoint
Search Services?  Any constructive input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Frank  share|improve this question  1 Answer 1  up vote

implemented in several ways depending on the type of list you
can use CAML to search for specific field info, you can create a
search scope just searching the specific list or you can use a
custom query that only retrieves info from that list   2.
