Crawl a remote portal site

Configure Portal Search to crawl and index a remote, public portal site.

We can enable search on other portal sites. However, only the public pages of other portals can be searched.

To have Portal Search crawl and index a public portal site:

1. Create a new content source using the Manage Search portlet.

2. Select Web site from the pull-down menu.

3. Enter the URL of the portal site to make available for search by the users.

When we start the crawl, the public portion of the portal site is crawled. The search collection will only contain public pages.
