Remove search collections

To use search in a cluster, configure a remote search server. If we created any search collections, we must re-create them on the remote search server. If the search collection has data, export the collection before deleting it. Then, import it to the remote server.

1. To prevent search collection creations:

   1. Log in to the WAS console.

      Cluster note: If this web content server is part of a cluster, log on to the dmgr console.

   2. Go to Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers > JCR ConfigService PortalContent > Custom properties.

   3. Set the jcr.textsearch.enabled parameter to false.

   4. Click Apply and save the changes to the master configuration.

   5. Restart the server.

2. To delete existing search collections from the primary node:

   1. Log on to WebSphere Portal.

   2. Click...
      Administration | Search Administration | Manage Search | Search Collections | Delete Collection | OK

   3. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server

   4. Go back to the Search Collections page to verify that all search collections are deleted.
