Is there a way to open a the following page programmatically using Xrm as we can open forms or dialogs ?
Sort of, but I'm not sure its supported, the search page is presented as part of the main.aspx page. There is no obvious option to force the main page to open the search content documented.
However, if you open the search page, and debug the contents you can get a URL that points to the search page contents.
You could then append that address to your CRM URL and you will be redirected to the search page, however all the CRM menu bars are missing.
I.e. (note main.aspx is omitted) https://yourcrm.crm4.dynamics.com/externalsearch/externalsearch.aspx?option=0&sitemappath=projects%7cMyWork%7cnav_dashboards&text=

Is there a way to set the home/landing page for a SharePoint 365 site to the Site Contents page https://support.office.com/en-us/article/The-SharePoint-Site-Contents-page-ba495c1e-00f4-475d-97c7-b518d546566b
You could add a script on startpage in a script editor web part that redirect users to Site contents. That redirect surely will create a "flicker".This should do it:
window.location.href = "/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx";
Beware that this will be hard to remove from the web part (you will always get redirected), so maybe it should be added to a new page layout that is used by the startpage. Then it's possible to edit/remove the redirect through SharePoint Designer.
You could also try (if you have publishing feature activated) the "Welcome Page" link in site settings. Maybe there you could somehow point out the path to site contents, but I doubt it.
I have a set of items displayed in page viewer web parts that are from an external site. In order for them to display login credentials for external site are needed. I put the login page as the first web part (page viewer) on the sharepoint library. how do I make it so that after login is completed the page refreshes automatically to now display the other web parts?
it is bit tricky, since here cross domain comes into picture, but probably what you can do is, have a button where in you show that page viewer for login, and once clicked you have some kind of timer, which then refreshes the other page viewer urls. To refresh url is easy just reset the "src" attributes of iframes.
I'm trying to redirect the search queries to a search center url. I've created the search center and I use the Search Settings to set a result page url (my search center results.aspx).
I've tried setting the custom page for site collection and leave the site setting on "Use the same results page as my parent". I've also tried setting the custom page url directly in the site setting. But still the search results is shown on the site's "osssearchresults.aspx" page.
Am I forgetting something? It's like sharepoint is ignoring those settings.
Have a look at the actual search box web part settings. There is a properties for Search box where you can choose to use the default or you can send queries to a custom results page URL.
See if that is where the issue is.

Currently I have a search set up on our Sharepoint 2010 server. The search works fine on the first try however after one search (aka the results page) the scope is defaulted to "this site:search".
I would like to modify the scope options on this page however I cannot seem to locate where to do so?
I would like the same scopes to display on both my results page and original search page. In summary the problem is the search is set up as a separate site and when the results page is displayed the only scope option is this site which esentially has no content. So an added bonus would be to remove the this site option from the page.
For now anyways the search has to stay as a separate site.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
In order to allow for additional scopes in the results page you must go to the site settings (as admin) > Search Settings > Site Collection Search Center and Enable Custom Scopes
I still need to know how to default to all site or hide this site search.
I too had the similar issue,in order to solve go to site settings->search scopes and then click displaygroups->drop down serach for
Click on Drop down serach for,a form opens where you can define serach scopes and at the bottm you can set the defuat search scope.Hope this helps
Below are the steps I had to take:
I had to set the specific search page and edit the web part settings to make sure they do NOT "Use site dropdown mode" or "Use site level defaults".
Set the dropdown mode of that webpart to be "Show, do not include contextual scopes, and default to 's' URL parameter".
In the miscellaneous section set the target search results page url to the results page in my search center. IE (/Search/Pages/results.aspx) in my case.
Add a search box to the results page with the same drop down mode as in step 2 above. I suggest navigating to your empty results page and then site actions > edit. Add the web part as normal.
Make sure you have done the step above by going to (/_layouts/enhancedSearch.aspx ) and setting the url to your search center (/Search/Pages) in my case.
I had the same problem when I used the Basic Search Site template, but not when I used the Enterprise Search Site template, which allowed me to edit Web Parts on the search AND the results page to show the scope dropdown.
To remove "This Site" from the scope list, edit both search box Web Parts and choose "Show, do not include contextual scopes."
Also, you will need to enable Publishing Infrastructure feature on the site collection before you can create a search site using the Enterprise Search Site template.
I also changed the master page on the search site to minimal.master to improve the layout.
I have a public internet site created in SharePoint 2010. I have uploaded an index.html web page to a Document Library, which I will call "abc." Here is what I want to happen:
www.website.com/abc >> should automatically direct to index.html in that library.
Instead, when I go to that URL, I am asked to log in. My usual login information that I use to edit the site, however, has no effect, and I am eventually just taken to blank white page.
If I type the full URL, www.website.com/abc/index.html, it goes to the correct page, so I know it has been published.
The index.html page is the only item in the document library.
The web address listed in the Document Library settings is http://www.website.com/abc/Forms/AllItems.aspx. I think this is what I need to change to get it to default to index.html. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
Sharepoint document libraries can only have default views for their default pages. Can you create a view to make your changes there, or edit the default view?
If not, you could always edit the default view in Sharepoint Designer and put a redirect to your page, but that's kind of hackish.
