I had this working but now each time I go to the page I get this error.. Property doesn't exist or is used in a manner inconsistent with schema settings.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi there, Very Informative Article. I followed this article and got the result page. When I click on the Name link of any result item, I am redirecting to Person.aspx of the "MySite Host". Since this is a application page, I don't want to touch it but i need to change few things viz look and feel, custom display, add custom webparts. Could you please suggest me.. How can I customize this "Person.aspx"??

Thanks
Khushi

Hi Waldek,

Thnx for the very usefull post !

My remaining challenge how to filter these results received when using SPSPeople by department name/code ?

Then with a slightly customised query I could easily create facebook pages per department…… Any idea's?

Thanks in advance !

@Waldek: Sorry, I must have misunderstood your post, when you said that the workaround remedies the problem "It doesn’t display anything unless you enter a search query.". I thought it would then allow running the search without parameters. Still, thanks, even getting the users to display this way is great.

@Nemanja: that's how SharePoint works. What would you like to change about it? What would you like to see after clicking the button and not providing any search query?

@Waldek: Thanks for your answer. Yes I have, and the users are displayed when I first load the page. The problem happens when I try after that to click the search button with nothing in the search box. I get a javascript pop up with the message I mentioned, and the page does not post back. It is not possible to run a serch with the search box empty.

Thanks

@Nemanja: I described this issue in the first part of the post. Have you tried that?

Hi,

Great post, thanks. Can you please help with this problem – when I try to run the search with no keywords in the textbox I get a javascript alert: \"Please enter one or more search words.\", so I can\'t try this out.

Many thanks

Nemanja

@Sean: If I had a similar requirement I would use two eb Parts: one to display the search results and the other to display all people. Additionally, if the Web Part shows all people without paging you could consider searching using JavaScript. Please not that this would allow you to look only for data available within the overview Web Part.
