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.

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.
