Update the global search settings

After you import data from a production environment (the source environment) into a test or development environment (the target environment), you need to update the global search settings.

About this task

When you import data from the source environment, the settings for the search server are imported. You need to update the target environment so that it uses the search server in your target environment.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenPages® application in the target environment as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Click Administration menu > System Configuration > Global Search and click Disable.
  3. Stop the global search services.

  4. Update the global search settings.
    1. Click System Configuration > Settings > Applications > Common > Configuration > Show Hidden Settings and set the value to true.
    2. Click System Configuration > Settings > Platform > Search > Admin and update the Search Server Administration URL with the URL of the search server in your target environment.
    3. Click System Configuration > Settings > Platform > Search > Index and update the Search Server URL with the URL of the search server in your target environment.
    4. Click System Configuration > Settings > Platform > Search > Request and update the Search Server URL with the URL of the search server in your target environment.
