When a user sends a search query to the Web Search Server, Web Search must
determine which of all of your search sites it should use to handle the
incoming search request.
Web Search uses two methods for determining this:
1. Matching the domain name of the search query with the search site names
available in Web Search
2. Using the SITE=searchsitename query parameter to find matching search
site names
For example, in the following search request, Web Search uses the domain
name search.domainname1.com as the name of the search site:
This approach requires that your server be set up to recognize the domain
name search.domainname1.com. Most servers can be set up to recognize and
service multiple domain names in both software and hardware virtual server
configurations (see "Setting Up Multiple Web Servers" on page
You could also use an IP address to designate the search site. For multiple
search sites, this approach would work only in a hardware virtual server
configuration where each search site has its own unique IP address.
