It can be used to display results for the current site, the current site and its sub-sites, or the entire site collection. Results are displayed in familiar Windows SharePoint Services style views. Place the web part on a web part page in multiple zones with multiple configurations to create consolidated dashboards of the content that is being added or changed on your SharePoint sites. |
