Configuring scopes

When you configure a scope for a collection, you specify the URIs or URI patterns for a range of documents in the index. When users query a collection, the documents that they search can be limited to documents that match the scope.

Procedure

To configure a scope:

  1. On the Collections page, expand the collection for which you want to define a scope.
  2. In the Search pane for an enterprise search collection or the Analytics pane for a content analytics collection, click Configure > Scopes.
  3. On the Scopes page, click Create Scope.
  4. Specify a name for the scope and the URIs and URI patterns that define the boundaries of the scope.
    You can also specify URIs and URI patterns that you want to exclude from the scope.

Results

Your new scope is listed on the Scopes page with the other scopes that belong to this collection.

What to do next

If you want to reflect the changes immediately, restart the search servers.
