Configure the Search and Browse portlet for remote search service

Configure the Search and Browse portlet for remote search service.

When you want your users to be able to use the Search and Browse portlet for remote search, configure a copy of that portlet to the target search collection. The parameters for remote search must match the search service under which that search collection runs.

• Configure the remote search parameters PSE_TYPE and eitherSOAP_URL, or EJB and IIOP_URL to the same values as you set them for the remote search service.

• Set the CollectionLocation parameter of the Search and Browse portlet to the collection location of the search collection which users will search by that Search and Browse.

  You can look up the collection location by performing the following steps:

  1. Click Administration > Search Administration > Manage Search.

  2. Click Search Collections.

  3. From the Search Collections list, select the collection for which you want to configure the Search and Browse portlet.

  4. The location of the search collection is shown under the Search collection status information.

For a list of the configuration parameter for the Search and Browse portlet refer to Configuration parameters for the Search and Browse portlet.

Each Search and Browse portlet can be configured to use one search index and to search one search collection only. If you have more than one search collection built and maintained, create a new copy of the Search and Browse portlet for each additional collection, and update its configuration parameters accordingly. To copy a portlet, use the Manage Portlets portlet on the Portlets page under Portal administration.
