Add search engines using the administration portlet Manage Clients

To add search engines using the administration portlet Manage Clients, follow the procedure given here.

1. Go to the Manage Clients portlet by clicking the Administration menu icon in the toolbar. Then, click Portal Settings > Supported Clients. Portal opens the Manage Clients portlet.

2. Depending on whether to add more search clients to the default user agent or add a complete new client, do one of the following steps:

   • Select the client that starts with (.*(B|b)ot.*)|(.*BOT.*)|(.*(S|s)pider.*) . . . from the list of clients and edit it. Use this option if you simply want to add one or more search engines.

   • Add a new client. For example, use this option, to give the newly added search engine priority by setting it to the First position in the client list.

   For details about how to do this refer to the Manage Clients portlet help.
