Configure the Search Center portlet

The Search Center is installed and ready to use in a default portal installation.

Search Center is available to authenticated users through the search box in the portal theme header action bar. Users can use the Search Center for basic searches. We do not need to configure the Search Center. If required, we can configure the Search Center for search by metadata and by search scopes.
