    Parameter Details
    SearchService.DateFormatString Date format when...

    • entering dates in search forms
    • displaying search results

    Enter a supported Java date format string. If not set, then the default format is MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss z.

    SearchService.RecrawlInterval Recrawl interval in hours for searchable Web content sites.
    SearchService.BrokenLinksExpirationAge Default "Broken links expiration age" in days for searchable Web content sites.
    SearchService.MetaFields Specify additional elements to crawl when searching for Metadata.

    The format for this parameter value is:

      elementName,key1

    To specify more than one Metadata field maps, use the following format:

      elementName1,key1;elementName2,key2;elementName3,key3

    For example, to crawl for Metadata in a text element named metaText:

    • SearchService.MetaFields=metaText,meta

    • elementName is the name of element you would like to search for Metadata. Any valid element with that name in a searchable site, site area or content item will be crawled.

    • key is the "key" specified in an element tag used as part of a search element design. In the example above, the key of "meta" has been used. To render the content of the metaText element in a search element design, you would use the following tag:

        <Element context="autoFill" type="content" key="meta"/>

    • Only text elements and short text elements can be searched.

    • Only sites that have been configured to be searchable will be crawled.
    SearchService.SearchSeed.ExcludeFileAttachments=false Set to "true" to prevent file resource component attachments from being included in the search results.

    If false, files stored in file resource elements in content items can also be searched

    Files stored in file resource elements in a site or site area can also be searched so long as a default content item has been selected.

  2. Save the SearchService.properties file.

  3. Restart the portal for the new settings to take effect.
