[Is there] The ability to use an alias for the "Search all content types" and "Search in all visible pages" drop-down listings/directory tree structure. Many of the commercially available product modules use a company name company that is not easily recognizable to the average public. It would be convenient to changes these names to more recognizable terminologies/names.
This question comes from the dotnetnuke support and is transferred here for follow-up purposes
Using an alias is not possible at the moment for the pages, since we use the native DotNetNuke system to display them. However, it is possible to change the name for the modules. To do so, you must be able to edit resource files on the server.
When you arrive on the search page with the default "Light filter", you have the ability to select which modules will be searched:
However the names displayed are the friendly names of the modules that you have installed on your DotNetNuke instance. In order to change that, you must edit the resource file for the control displaying the modules' names.
To do that, just edit the resource file for the control <websitepath>/DesktopModules/Aricie.LuceneSearch/Controls/App_Localresources/DesktopModuleFilter.ascx.resx. Important: you can create different resource files for different portals, or even create resource files that won't be impacted by upgrades to the module. Please follow the appropriate file naming strategy your version of DotNetNuke supports. Since the DesktopModuleFilter.ascx.resx is part of the Aricie.LuceneSearch module, its values will be overwritten when you reinstall or upgrade the module.
You can edit the file directly in a text editor. Just add an entry with the module name followed by .Text (not the module friendly name) and the text you wish to replace the value with.
Then restart the website and the module name will be changed
