Search Center portlet for search by users
The Search Center portlet is made available to users for searching content sources for which they have access permission rights. The Search Center portlet is installed as part of the default portal installation. It is deployed and placed on a hidden portal page. The portal takes users to the Search Center when they enter a search using the portal Search Box.
Starting with WebSphere Portal v8 the Search and Browse portlet provided with earlier portal versions is no longer available. The Search Center has been enhanced with advanced search options previously available in the Search and Browse portlet. Categorization and taxonomy are no longer available.
By default both the Search Center portlet and the Search box are available only to authenticated users. Anonymous users cannot use the Search Center.
The Portal Search portlets cannot be provided as WSRP services, as some additional and more advanced WebSphere Portal concepts and features are not yet reflected by the current WSRP standard. This includes the Portal Search portlets Manage Search and the Search Center.
