   Hi,
   
   I have several hundred "Vehicle" content items. These items are not linked to any page directly, instead there is a single page with a custom widget which reads and displays a specific Vehicle based on querystring ID e.g. /display-vehicle?VehicleId=4EE2CDAD-E682-4282-8B96-E93342755892. There is a search index on these "Vehicle" items. There is a page with a search input that uses this index and a search results widget that displays the results of a search.
   
   As the "Vehicle" content items are not linked to a page the links in the search results do not work (empty href). I would like to customise the link so that it references "/display-vehicle?VehicleID={{ID}}".

   I understand that the solution may be to write a custom widget that inherits the SearchResults class but am stuggling to find any official documentation aside from forum posts.
   
   Any ideas?

   I was thinking too much about it. The search results expose the ID of the content item so I can just modify the <a> tag as below.

   <%@ Control Language="C#" %>

   <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sitefinity" %>

   <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity.Search.Impl" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Search.Web.UI.Public" TagPrefix="sfSearch" %>

    

   <sfSearch:SearchBox ID="topSearchBox" runat="server" />

    

   <sitefinity:SitefinityLabel id="resultsStats" runat="server" WrapperTagName="p" CssClass="sfsearchResultStatistics" Text="<%$Resources:SearchResources, SearchResultsStatusMessage %>" />

    

   <asp:Repeater ID="resultsList" runat="server">

       <HeaderTemplate>

           <dl class="sfsearchResultsWrp sfsearchReultTitleSnippetUrl">

       </HeaderTemplate>

       <ItemTemplate>

           <dt class="sfsearchResultTitle"><a runat="server" href='<%# "/display-vehicle?id=" + Eval("Id") %>'><%# Eval("Title") %></a></dt> 

           <dd class="sfsearchResultSnippet"><%# Eval("Summary")%></dd>

           <dd class="sfsearchResultUrl"><a runat="server"  href='<%# Eval("Link")%>'><%# Eval("Link")%></a></dd>

           <dd class="sfsearchResultHighLighter"><%# Eval("HighLighterResult")%></dd>

       </ItemTemplate>

       <FooterTemplate>

           </dl>

       </FooterTemplate>

   </asp:Repeater>

    

   <sitefinity:Pager ID="pager" runat="server" />

    

   <sfSearch:SearchBox ID="bottomSearchBox" runat="server" />
