Deciding If You Need More Than One Search Site
140 Getting Results with Novell Web Services
Taking the time to plan your search service strategy can save you time and
money and improve the quality of your service.
When you create a new search site, you create an independent search service,
meaning that it is self-contained and doesn't depend on , or interact with, other
search sites.
Each search site that you create typically contains one or more of the
following components:
Indexes: Files that hold key words and associated URLs of Web sites or
file server content that have been indexed, or crawled.
Themes: When applied, a theme instantly adds a common look and feel to
your search page, search and print results pages, and response and error
message pages.
Search and Print Results Templates: Templates that become populated
with the results of a search and then are displayed to the user. Depending
on which templates are used, the level of detail displayed in search and
print results varies.
Scheduled Events: Index management, such as updating or regenerating,
can be automated to occur at specific intervals using the Scheduling
feature.
To determine if you need more than one search site, answer the following
questions:
Do you want to host search services for multiple, independent
organizations?
Do you want to consolidate multiple NetWare 5.1 Web Search servers
onto a single machine?
Do you need to prevent users from being able to search across multiple
indexes at the same time?
If you answered yes to any of these, you will likely need to create more than
one search site. For information about creating search sites, see
"Creating and Managing Search Sites," on page
