Categorizers and taxonomies

Search Tips   |   Advanced Search

 

Portal Search provides two types of categorizers.

Predefined static categorizer Predefined static set of categories. Allows categorization of documents by different subjects. Use Taxonomy Manager portlet to manage.
User-defined rule based categorizer Categorization of documents by user-defined rules. Use Manage Search portlet to manage.

When creating a search collection, we can specify whether a categorizer should be used, and if so, which type.

If users use the Search and Browse portlet to search a collection with a taxonomy, the Search and Browse portlet lists the category information with the search results. Users can then browse all documents in the same category or limit their search to documents in that category only.
