Use the search seedlist 0.9
Although Portal Search is configured to support the search seedlist 1.0 format by default, we can reconfigure the portal to use the standard seedlist 0.9 format when searching for web content with the Search Center. For example, we might choose to use seedlist format 0.9 because 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.
Important: With IBM WebSphere Portal Version 7, search seedlist format 0.9 is deprecated. Although we can still use seedlist format 0.9, IBM recommends that you transition to seedlist format 1.0 to ensure future compatibility.
To use the seedlist format 0.9, you essentially disable the default support for the seedlist format 1.0.
- Log in to the portal as an administrator.
- Click Administration in the tool bar.
- Disable search seedlist 1.0 support for Web Content Manager.
- Log in to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console...
