    0 to hero with Umbraco 7 Search on the front-end

    When I installed Umbraco 7.5.1.1 for the first time on my localhost, I installed the 1st skin package out of the 3 that Umbraco offered me. There appears to be no front-end search box that comes with the example skin.

    Where can I learn to create and manage a search component for Umbraco 7? Or is it so easy I shouldn't of asked this question ;) Here are my requirements....

    • A content node with a search box that can be used to search for documents and pages (not images), also search content by meta data.

    • The ability to manage search results. i.e. can I display all content pages first, then all pdfs, then all word documents, then all zip files?

    • Filter out search results for public members, (i.e. filter out a specific folder of documents), but when that user logs in, show all results. Is this possible?

    • Add custom icons based on file extensions for each search result kind? i.e. pdfs get a small pdf icon next to them, word documents get, etc...

    • Can I determine what else gets shown besides the link title of each search result item?

    • Can we create a data type that provides meta data to uploaded PDF's or Word documents? All for the purpose of searching for these items through a search component? For example I may have a PDF called cats-and-dogs-company.pdf but If I had a data type text box that I was able to type into that says "cad" and a user types in cad in a search box, the cats-and-dogs.pdf will show as a result.

    Thanks for any tips!
