XF 2.2 How to use search forum as homepage with article view?

[KSA]

I have tried every possibility to use a search forum to populate a page and then set it a portal page and make it display threads as a grid like the way article forum is set up but no luck. Is that even possible to do? It looks like the search forum only displays discussion layout.

That’s right. Sad but true.
Hopefully there will be an addon

Article Preview view as landing page

I would like to be able to use the Article Preview view as a home/landing page of article threads that satisfy certain search criteria. Then I wouldn't have to bother with Wordpress (and a bridge for comment threads) any more.

Does anyone know why this thread is deleted?

Maybe a merge into a new thread or something:

Ah, I figured a merge would send the old URL into the new one. Thanks for the link.
