Use the search seedlist 0.9

Although Portal Search is configured to support the search seedlist 1.0 format by default, you can reconfigure the portal to use the standard seedlist 0.9 format when searching for Web content with the Search Center.

For example, you might choose to use seedlist format 0.9 because you want to make use of older search collections or because you retrieve the seedlist 0.9 contents using the seedlist URL, which uses a different syntax from the URL used with the search seedlist 1.0 format.

To use the seedlist format 0.9, you essentially disable the default support for the seedlist format 1.0.

1. Log in to the portal as an administrator.

2. Click Administration in the tool bar.

3. Remove the WCM_FORMAT parameter from the search service.

   1. Under Search Administration in the navigation tree, click Manage Search.

   2. Click Search Services, and click the Edit icon for the search service that you are using.

   3. Search for WCM_FORMAT and click the Delete icon to remove the parameter.

   4. Click OK.

4. Disable search seedlist 1.0 support for IBM Lotus Web Content Management.

   1. Log in to the administrative console (http://hostname.example.com:10027/ibm/console).

   2. Click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers.

   3. Click WP ConfigService.

   4. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties.

   5. Remove the property named wcm.config.seedlist.version.

   6. Remove the property named wcm.config.seedlist.servletpath.

   7. If it exists, remove the property named wcm.config.seedlist.metakeys .

   8. Click OK, and save the changes to the master configuration.

   9. Restart the portal.
