Content Ares & External Search

I was wondering if it is possible to link an external search engine to the content area. I would like to use the external search engine to search the documents in the content area.
Thank you,
Laura

  • Indexing portal content by external search engine

    Hi All,
    I have a question about how to enable external search engine to index portal content.
    as I searched in sap help [Indexing Portal Content|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/46/9d1405fa743ef0e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
    To enable public search engines, such as Google, to index portal content, provide the search engine with the following URL:
    irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.utilities.tools.portalspider.SpiderWebInterface?
    How should I provide this above url to external search engine?
    Many thanks for all reply.
    Cheers,
    Kanok-on K.
    P.S. We use the default KM.

  • Setting a default content area for simple search

    How to set up a default content area/all content areas for simple search when searching from a page?
    The only way i can set a content area, is to go to advanced search and specify the content area or say all content areas
    When i am searching from a content area, simple search searches the same content area.

    Harish,
    One simple way is create a navigation bar in the content area you are interested in searching, containing just the search element, and expose that navigation bar as a portlet.
    Now you can add this portlet to any page and the search will search only on the content area it belongs to.

  • Hide Content Area in Advanced Search page

    How can we hide some Content Areas in the 'Advanced Search' page (3.0.9)?
    Thanks.

    You can create a test case based on the JHS Demo (shipped with JHeadstart 10.1.2.2) or the HR Schema (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/jhstutorial/index.html#setuphrschemaanddata). Please e-mail it to [email protected],
    * removing the cabo folder from the web root (public_html) before zipping it, it makes the zip much smaller
    * renaming the .zip file to something like .zipped, otherwise our mail server will not process it
    * including detailed steps to reproduce the problem.

  • Content area & search portlet

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a couple questions and hope that some of you can give me some insight, thank you so much in advance!
    I need to implement a search portlet. I realized that there is one built-in portlet that came with the 9iAS. But it does not provide all the functionalities that I need. For example, I would like it to be customizable, therefore the drop-down-list lists only the content areas customized by the users and it only searches in those areas.
    Here are the questions:
    1) It seems that the built-in Search portlet uses the database provider. am I right? Where can I find its provider and also its jar files (I am guessing it is written in Java).
    2) If I have to write my own Search portlet, then I need to get the information about the content area such as which table the content area objects are saved to and how many content areas and in the area etc...
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vince

    There are some secure views that are available as part of the Pl/Sql PDK. They are listed here:
    http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/sdk23vws.htm
    The views work by using information from the session context (see the wwctx_api package). Typically the session context will be set automatically by the portal framework if the request comes to the Portal Database via mod_plsql or the PPE.
    To find the content areas in which the user has access to folders, you'll need to join the WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS view with the WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS using the ID and CAID columns, respectively.
    Content Areas don't have descriptions so a presume you meant the display name rather than the unique name. The display name can be found from the WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS view be joining WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS to WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS again but choosing the root folder (select id, caid, language, display_name from WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS.ID = 1). You'll also need to restrict by language.
    Please write again if you need more info.

  • Searching a content area with a (java) function

    I have to write a function (possibly java) for running an
    Intermedia search on a portal content area. The function should
    be called with search parameters, returning a list/array with
    search results.
    I saw the submit_search PL/SQL function (I could even call
    directly the search URL with all the parameters), but both the
    solutions returns a quite complex html page, difficult to parse
    for getting results in a table/array.
    Any suggestion?

    The actual query that we use for advanced search is quite
    complex and subject to change from release to release.
    Depending on what you want to search on, you could try using the
    content area views that are documented in the PDK instead of an
    interMedia search.

  • How to display search results in content area

    Hi
                 How can I display search results in the content area as seen in sdn.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/frameset.htm you find the relevant guidelines.
    You can filter the PCD object setting the Search Layout Set of your Searc Iview.
    In System Admin > System Configuration > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set and duplicate the "SearchResultLayoutSet" layout set.
    Then you have to duplicate its Collection Renderer "StandardSearchResultRenderer".
    In its property "Resource Types to be Filtered" set as value "-http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/iview".
    Then assign the new Collection Renderer to the new Layout Set and that's it!
    Now if yuor Search Iview uses this new Layout Set, when you search a PCD object the iviews will not be shown!
    (or)
    In the entry "Predefined Properties" of the search options set, you will need to enter "resourcetype(value=http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/page/default)" if you want the search to be limited to resources defined as pages. Leave out /default if you dont want the end user to be able to change the filter.
    If you want the parameter reflected in the URL, you can find information about how to do it here: /message/280371#280371 [original link is broken]
    Check and try either ways.

  • Searching page content as well as content area content

    We wanted to be able to search the text in HTML portlets on
    pages to locate the page. The search mechanism seems only to
    search the content in content areas. Is there anyway to do this?
    Is Oracle Ultra-search any solution?

    You can try using Ultrasearch or another crawler to crawl your
    site to index your page content.
    Searching across pages using the built-in Portal search (as well
    as Ultrasearch) will be supported in the next release of Portal.

  • Search Multiple Content Areas

    We are running portal version 3.0.9.8.5 and would like to include 2 content areas in the search results. Right now we have the ability to search all or one content areas but not multiple.
    Is this functionality feasible?

    The search engine is not set up to tackle more than one (but not all) content areas in 30985. so even with your own search screen this is not feasible. This functionality will be available in the next major release.

  • Content Area Search Engine

    I need to create a search engine portlet for my content areas , in fact I found two portlets in the portal portlet provider, I would like to know where could I find this portlets' source code in order to modify them and create my own portlet, or is there another way to create the search engine?
    Could anybody help me?
    Thanks in Advance

    Maybe you should have a look at CardLayout instead of doing a c.remove() / c.add() every time the user switches.

  • JavaScript search main content area of a page

    Hi
    I am hoping someone might be able to help. I am new to SharePoint and I'm looking to write a script on the master page which searches through the main content of a certain webpage.
    My question is; what is the variable for JavaScript to call the main content area so I can search it. I believe it is something like item.maincontentarea?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi
    This could  sometimes happen because of  multiple users working on the same content .

  • Contents of google search bar are deleated when command to search is given

    When I do an Internet search from the main Google website everything works fine. Any subsequent searches fail. I type my search words into the search box and press "enter" or click on the "search" button and instead of executing the search, the contents of the search bar are deleted.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I am not sure, I had a virus last week but I am fairly sure I delt with it. i also installed some new software that did a major update of my .net framework

    This is usually caused by conflicting extensions. Try disabling some extensions to see if that fixes it: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • Document links and Tables in a content area

    Hello,
    1. I'm having problems with text items in a content area. I'm trying to make a link to a document in a text item but I only get a 'Page can not be found'. I know I have to change the httpd.conf file settings but so far I have not been able to set it up correctly. How should the excact line look?
    In this case I whant to put all my documents in a folder tree in the 'portal_home' directory. For instense:MHC(root folder)/HR/employees.doc or MHC/Finance/Strategy.xls
    2. Why is it not possible to make 'invisible tables' in a text item? This way its possible to control the text mutch more and also (as in my case) include pictures within the text. If you want to produce a nice Intranet, the only way with portal (so far) is to make text items, becurse these are the only ones that you can display directly in a folder area and keep the navigation bar to the left. This way the users wont get lost in all the pages and folders.
    The problem is this:I want to use the style I've made on all my folders (this way it's easy to change the apperance of all the folders in just moments) BUT if I put a table in the text item (html code) then suddenly portal takes the default settings of the browser instead!!? So if I have set my browser to Arial 15 this is the text I se instead of the text in my style.
    Please , do anyone have a suggestion?
    I using Portal 3.0.7.6.2 (9iAS 1.0.2) on NT

    I assume you are trying to put an anchor tag in a text item, that points to a document stored elsewhere in the Portal repository.
    Use a direct access URL (search the online help for info on these) to construct the link to the document. You can use a relative URL by leaving out the "http://server.domain:port" part of the URL - e.g. {a href="/pls/portal30/docs/FOLDER/MYROOTFOLDER/MYSUBFOLDER/MyDocument.DOC"} - I'm using {} here instead of <> because real tags get messed up in these forum messages.
    The Portal FAQ explains how to use httpd.conf to define a redirect directive.

  • Underlying tables for documents stored in content area

    Thanks. Check out the portal30.wwv_things table. (itemtype='file') ...this is not where the actual blob file is stored, but where it is referenced and how it is linked to various items within portal. Hope this helps or at least gets you started.
    I beleive that the actual document is stored in wwdoc_document$

  • Open KM Navigation Content in Portal Content area

    Folks,
    We have a km navigation iview and want to open the contents in the portal content area instead of opening the links in a new window. I don't find any configurable options. What are the development effort options and how big is the effort? Any hint will be very helpful.
    Regards,
    Tridib

    Hi Tridib,
    see /thread/87593 [original link is broken] for the example of external links. If I'm right in this, the same would hold for other renderers.
    Hope it helps
