Item11266: Implement templating search results

See:

• TemplatingSearchResultSummaries
• ListFormatViewAndEditTemplate

Displays each search result in a different way, dependent on a new item view template. The template can be called using a new parameter itemview added to SEARCH:

%SEARCH{
   ...
   itemview="$formfield(Attributes)"
}%

or

%SEARCH{
   ...
   itemview="$web"
}%

So itemview can be filled with a form field value or the web or topic name, or any string using those values.

Template file itemview.tmpl is new. This renders the default item, to be used in search.

It can be overridden by param itemview and by skins, for example:

• PlaceItemViewTemplate.txt
• PersonItemViewTemplate.txt
• MySkinItemViewTemplate.txt
• MySkinSkinPlaceItemViewTemplate.txt
• MywebItemViewTemplate.txt
• MySkinSkinMywebItemViewTemplate.txt

TODO:

• Make itemview template the default display template for search
• Provide default CSS styles: base.css, pattern.css
• Better failure behaviour
• Documentation
