To create an ISS DEX component:
  1. Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
  2. Right-click the folder or content item to serve as the parent of the new DEX Search component. Select New > Component in the context menu.
    The Create New Component dialog displays.

  4. Click Create.
    The CMS creates the search component to include within a search results page.
  5. Edit the new DEX Search Component to suit your needs.
  6. When you finish, click Save.
  7. Create a page with your search results page schema.
  8. Open your search results page in the Site Tree. Navigate to the appropriate component element in the Edit tab.
