Coveo for Sitecore 4.1 (November 2018)

CoveoSearchResources.ascx is a sublayout file that includes a set of dependencies or resources used by a search interface. Its default location is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\SitecoreInstanceName\Website\layouts\Coveo\CoveoSearchResources.ascx.

Digging into Its Code

The code of CoveoSearchResources.ascx is rather straightforward:

  • It includes these dependencies:
    • Stylesheets, which defines the appearance of a search interface. You could easily override those styles by adding your own stylesheet, therefore allowing you to change the look and feel of your search interface.
    • JavaScript libraries used by the JavaScript Search Framework V1.0, as Coveo for Sitecore embeds a version of it. Therefore, when you previewed your search interface in the Sitecore Page Editor, what you actually saw was the JavaScript Search Framework in action.
  • It contains a standard asp:PlaceHolder control, which is only used to display the Coveo Search Resources string.

<!-- When customizing this component, ensure to use "Coveo.$" instead of the regular jQuery "$" to
     avoid any conflicts with Sitecore's Page Editor/Experience Editor.  -->
