Remote search service

For clusters, we configure the search portlets with a remote search service. Separate HCL WebSphere Portal environments cannot use the same remote search service. Only multiple HCL WebSphere Portal nodes in the same cluster can use the same remote search service.

SOAP support for remote search services was deprecated with HCL WebSphere Portal v8.0.
