Manage search services
This topic gives an overview of how you manage the portal search services. This includes creating a new search service or editing an existing search service.
To create or edit a portal search service...
- Click...
Main Menu | Administration | Search Administration | Manage Search | Search ServicesManage Search displays the Search Services panel.
- To create a new search service, click the New Search service button. To modify an existing search service, click the Edit icon for that search service. Manage Search lists the parameter key and value pairs for the search service.
Set or edit the parameter values depending on your requirements and configuration.
The values that you set for parameters of a portal search service apply to that search service and all its collections. They do not affect other search services of the portal or their search collections.
Some configuration parameters are available for both the search services and for the Search and Browse portlet. If you configure a copy of the Search and Browse portlet for search on collections under a particular search service, then you need to set the same value for these shared parameters.

If you modify a search service parameter that affects search collections, this modification will apply only to newly created search collections created in the search service. Existing search collections will not be affected by the updated parameter value.
Portal Search provides only one default Content Model search service. You cannot modify this Content Model search service, or create additional Content Model search services, or create additional search collections for the default Content Model search service.
