You can search for content more effectively with the Search Services as it represents
separate instances of the provided search engine. Select the Search Service
to manage Portal or Content Model search services. You can manage the Search
Collections and the Content Sources that are contained within the
Search Service. The content source contains portal pages, content that is
managed by IBM® Web Content
Manager, or indexed web pages. For a cluster
portal environment, you need to set up a remote search service.
About this task
Along with the Default Search Service provided by the portal, you can add
custom Search Services to your portal.
Procedure
- To create a Search Service, click New Search
Service.
- In the New Search Service form, provide a Service
name and select the Search service implementation.

Service does not support JavaScript. Text that is generated by JavaScript might not be
available for search.
