The parts that need to be moved<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Site Collection Result Sources (it’s like a content type)\n
  2. Search Result .aspx Pages (it’s like a template file)\n
  3. Site Settings > Search Settings > Configure Search Navigation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How & where to move the parts<\/h2>\n

    It’s very easy to export and import the search settings. However the hard part is exporting and importing the CUSTOMresults.aspx pages that drive the drop-down menu under the search box.<\/p>\n

    “Design Manager”<\/h2>\n

    Did you read that technet article?  No!?  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    \u201cDesign Manager\u201d is a GUI tool that appears when the Publishing Feature is turned on in your site collection. I created one and cracked it open as a .cab file to take a peek inside but it seems to be a lot more than I want in this case.<\/p>\n

    In this case I really just want the CUSTOMresult.aspx pages that match my Result Sources. So it’s tempting to just download the CUSTOMresult.aspx files, however experience suggests they may not carry across all the configuration settings I need.<\/p>\n

    Should I move them?<\/h2>\n

    Maybe it really is best to use local Site search boxes for local Site search needs in SharePoint 2013!<\/p>\n

    Here’s the business user experience:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Action<\/td>\nResult<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Search for a keyword in Site Collection root<\/td>\n\n

    Results found in “Bruce’s ON-PREM Sandbox (SP1)”<\/p>\n

    “Nothing here matches your search”<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Select “Everything” from the local Site Collection search results.aspx drop down<\/td>\nGo to Search Center’s “Everything” search experience<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    \n

    Select another “Search Experience” with a dedicated “Result Source”<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		Enjoy all the customizations of the Result Source and Result Page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    It’s sort of logical and quick, as long as the end-user has been trained on what to expect and how to play the game.<\/p>\n

    Nope, I really want to move all these parts to many site collections & web sites!<\/h2>\n
