1.  Introduction

Sitecore Quick Item Search control allows navigating to Items quickly using the Item ID or Item Full Path.

2.  Installation

The Quick Item Search control is distributed as a standard Sitecore package. Thus to start using it, you should install the package. Please refer to the Installing Modules and Packages article if you are not familiar with the standard Sitecore Packager tool.  

The package installs the QuickItemSearch.dll assembly to the /bin folder of your site.  

You need to add a reference to the QuickItemSearch.dll assembly into the <references> section of the web.config file:

            <references>

                        ...

                        <reference>/bin/quickitemsearch.dll</reference>

                        ...

            </references>

3.  User Manual

After the package installation, an address bar will appear on the Content Editor Toolbar.

This control is used to navigate to Items of the active database by specifying the full path to the Item or the Item's ID. The path string is not case sensitive.

4.  Examples

In order to navigate to the Item specified in the internal link field, copy the target Item path from the internal link field, paste it into the QuickSearch bar and press the Enter button or click 'Jump'.

In order to navigate to an Item given its ID, copy the ID form the System section, paste it into the QuickSearch bar and press the Enter button or click 'Jump'.The ID can also be entered without the curly brackets.
