After implementing a federated search service, you must deploy your code.
To deploy a .NET federated search service, add a line to the deployment file (web.config) that specifies the fully qualified name of the class used to implement federated search. For a federated search service, you must enter values for the following parameters, as shown in the code that follows.
... <appSettings> <add key='SearchAssembly' value='CompanyStoreSWS'/> <add key='SearchImpl' value='Plumtree.CompanyStore.SWS.CompanyStoreSWS'/> ...
If the federated search service uses a SCI page to define settings, you must also deploy the SCI code. For details on using SCI pages, see Creating Service Configuration Pages for Content Crawlers.
