Manage Search is the Portal Search administration portlet. It has three main sections:
Administer Portal Search
Search Services Manage search services. Search Collections Manage search collections and their content sources. Search Scope: Manage search scopes and custom links to Web search locations.
We can install the Search and Browse end user portlet to allow for advanced searches by users.
We can configure the search portlets for various environments and requirements, for example, for local or remote search service, or for search on use on anonymous pages.
Setting up Portal Search for users involves...
- Creating a search collection and define its properties, thereby allowing for fast and efficient searches.
- Creating one or more content sources for that collection and have them crawled.
- Select which of the documents in the collection will or will not be available for search.
All search collections are available by the All Sources selection option of the Search Center portlet.
