Configure the Search and Browse portlet for local or remote search
You can configure the Search and Browse portlet for local or remote search.
You can configure and use the embedded search component in two ways, either accessing a locally installed search service or using a remote search service via EJB or through the SOAP (Web services) interface. Once you have configured the Search and Browse portlet for local search service or remote search service, you cannot change its configuration to the other type of service. If you try to do this, the portlet does not work any more. This applies to the end user Search and Browse portlet.
To switch to the other type of service (for example, from local to remote), you need to do so manually as follows:
- Create another copy of the Search and Browse portlet and configure it for the required search service type.
- To configure for local access, leave the SOAP_URL, EJB, and IIOP_URL parameters empty.
For more information refer to the topic about Configuring the Search and Browse portlet for local search service.
- To configure for remote access, specify a SOAP URL, or an EJB name and an IIOP URL.
Refer to the topics about Configuring Portal Search for remote search service and Configuring the Search and Browse portlet for remote search service.
