Feature: #106828 - Add user TSconfig to define default live search action

Description

A new user TSconfig option options.liveSearch.actions has been introduced to allow integrators to define the default behavior of a search.

Available actions:

edit: Opens the edit form of the record. This is the default for all tables except pages.
layout: Opens the page in the Page module. This is the default for the pages table.
list: Opens the storage page of the record in the Record List module.
preview: Opens the record in the frontend.

Important

The layout action can only be used for the pages and tt_content tables.

Examples

Set the default for all tables:

options.liveSearch.actions.default = edit

Set the default for the tt_content table:

options.liveSearch.actions.tt_content.default = layout

Set the default for a custom table:

options.liveSearch.actions.my_table.default = preview

Note

To use preview for a custom record, a valid preview configuration must exist for the table in TCEMAIN.preview.

Impact

The default actions of live search results can now be configured with user TSconfig. Integrators can define global and table-specific behavior for search results, improving backend workflows.

The default behavior for pages has been changed to layout to improve the user workflow.
