Portal Search - new key features and capabilities
Some of the new key features of Portal Search include AJAX for faster search results rendering. Portal Search scope and default behavior can now be customized by adding specialized portlets to the Search Center.
The following list gives a brief description of the new key features of Portal Search:

For example, they can reduce the Search Scope All to return only a subset of search results.
- They can add two new specialized portlets to the Search Center:
- Suggested Links
- The Suggested Links portlet displays predefined search results and links to users separately from the regular result set. You can add keywords to indexed documents to control which results appear in the suggested results list. You can configure the portlet to select suggested results based on just the keywords, or on all document content, including keywords.
- External Results
- When an administrator adds that portlet to Portal Search, the results of a search initiated from the Search page include results from third-party external search engines such as Yahoo or Google.
You can add more than one copy of the External Search Results portlet to the Portal Search page, and you can configure each of these to display a specific number of search results.
