Manage search services
To create a portal search service...Administration | Search Administration | Manage Search | Search Services | New Search Service button
Values set for a search service apply to that search service and all its collections. They do not affect other search services of the portal or their search collections.
Some configuration parameters are available for both the search services and for the Search and Browse portlet. If you configure a copy of the Search and Browse portlet for search on collections under a particular search service, set the same value for these shared parameters. See:
- Configure the Search and Browse portlet for end users
- Configuration parameters for the Search and Browse portlet
If you modify a search service parameter that affects search collections, this modification will apply only to newly created search collections created in the search service. Existing search collections will not be affected by the updated parameter value.
Portal Search provides only one default Content Model search service. You cannot modify this Content Model search service, or create additional Content Model search services, or create additional search collections for the default Content Model search service.
The search administration portlet Manage Search lists the Default Portal Search Service and its collection Portal Content or other collections in the default portal language and not in the language that the user has selected as preferred language for the portal or set in the browser. For example, if the portal default language is set to English and the user has selected German as the preferred portal language or has set the browser language to German, the Default Portal Search Service and its collections show in English.
