Enabling search for web content

You use Portal Search to search for text displayed in web sites created by IBM® Web Content Manager.

Indexing web content
In order to search for web content, your content must first be indexed by the WebSphere® Portal search engine. Once the content has been indexed, you can run searches using the search center or using a search component. If you search for documents in the WebSphere Portal search center, be aware that you see search results for published documents only. Unpublished pending changes in a project are not included in the results.
Configuring Web Content Manager search options
You can edit the following search options to manage how the search service works with Web Content Manager search forms
Optional: Configuring Search Center to search for web content
You can use the Search Center to search for web content by adding a web content search collection to the Search Center.
Crawling web content with search seedlists
Portal Search supports the use of seedlists to make crawling websites and their metadata more efficient and to provide content owners fine-grained control over how content and metadata are crawled. You can configure the portal to use seedlist support when crawling content generated with IBM Web Content Manager.
