Configure Search in a portal farm
To support Search in a portal farm, install and configure search for remote search service on an IBM WebSphere Application Server instance that is not part of the farm.
To install and configure the search service remotely, perform the following tasks:
- Install and configure the search service to work remotely, that is, on a remote WAS instance which is not part of the portal farm. You can provide the remote search service either as an EJB or as a Web service via SOAP. Deploy the appropriate EJB or SOAP EAR file on the remote WAS instance. For details about how to do this, refer to the WAS documentation.
- Configure the search portlets for remote search service so that they access the remote server accordingly.
Notes:
- If you have configured a remote search service for a portal farm, you need to configure the default location for search collections to a directory on the remote server that has write access.
- The portal site default search collection is created only once at the first time when an administrator selects the search administration portlet Manage Search. If this occurred before you configure the portlet for remote search, then the default portal site search collection is only available on the primary farm instance, but not on the remote server. In this case you need to recreate the portal site collection to make it available for search on all instances of the farm.
