Manage search services
To create a portal search service:
Administration | Search Administration | Manage Search | Search Services | New Search Service
To modify an existing search service, click the Edit icon for that search service.
The values set for parameters of a portal 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. 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.
The Manage Search portlet 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.
SOAP support for remote search services has been deprecated with WebSphere Portal v8.0. EJB is still supported.
If you delete a search service, the portal does not delete the search collections and the Search Centerelated to this search service.
Delete search collections using the Manage Search administration portlet. Remove the Search Center related to the deleted search service from its page using the Manage Pages administration portlet.
