If you need to search one or more lists, List Search Simple and List Search Advanced Web Parts help users yield maximum search results. These Web Parts present a simple, straightforward search interface for a single list without confusing field lists. Our Web Parts allow users to modify the scope of the search and also allow for AND/OR operator functions, providing functionality beyond the basic search capabilities of SharePoint out-of-the-box. I’m pleased to announce that Bamboo’s List Search Web Part is now available as part of Bamboo’s growing Portfolio for SharePoint 2013.
High-Level Features:
- Now available for SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013. New!
- Specify the list to be searched, the view to use to display the search results, and the fields within the list to make available for use as search criteria.
- Constrain a search to a single list without having to create an index and search scope.
- Display search result hits individual list item.
- Identify a view associated with the list to use to display the search results, allowing the designer to specifically define the look and feel of the search results list, including columns and sorts.
- Allow grouping, as well as AND and OR operators to be included in the search criteria. (Advanced Search Web Part Only)
- Allows users to select ALL or ANY words to join search columns.
- Ability to rearrange the search results column order.
- Ability to print search results.
- Ability to search keywords in all list columns.
- Users now have the option to select available lists. (Advanced Search Web Part Only)
- Translate the Web Part into English, French, German, or Spanish, or customize the translation for the language you require.
- Customize the look and feel of the Web Part by modifying the HTML Source and CSS. (Simple Search Web Part Only)

I have a few task lists that I want to search against. This time I want to search either using one specific column or search through all columns. In this case, I want to search for tasks that have “product” as text in the columns:
If search functions for enhanced findability are important to you, try these two Web Parts out with a free, 30-day trial. Or try it out on our sandbox if you don’t already have a SharePoint 2013 environment set up.
