Modifying Default Search Site Settings
General Settings
NetWare Web Search Manager's home page displays a list of all search sites
that exist on your Web Search server. This home page is called Global Settings
because the changes you make from this page affect all new sites that you
create, and they also affect the functionality of the search and print servlets
that provide the Web Search services.
For example, if you changed the Default Query Encoding under General Site
Settings > General, any new search sites you create would default to the new
setting.
However, you can override default site settings by using the Advanced index
definition pages when defining indexes for your sites.
Changes you make to the query, response, and error log settings affect all
newly created search sites.
To modify general default search site settings, do the following:
1
From the Web Search Manager home page, click General under Default
Site Settings.
2
From the Default Query Encoding drop-down list, select an encoding that
represents the character set encoding that most of your user queries will
use.
3
In the Maximum Query Duration field, enter the maximum number of
seconds before Web Search should end a query, regardless of whether a
search has been completed.
This option is one of several methods for letting you protect your server's
resources from processing potential rogue searches, which are sometimes
intended to harm your service by consuming server resources.
4
Under Response Settings, select an output encoding from the Default
Encoding for Response Pages drop-down list.
This setting specifies the encoding Web Search should use when
responding to user queries using the search and print results templates,
and the error and response messages templates.
5
Enter the maximum number of queries in the Refuse Queries if Potential
Hits Exceed field to cancel the processing of search results that might take
a long time to complete.
