The Search Page

The default URL end-users can use to access search functionality is:

http://<server-instance>:port number/search

Example:

http://plaza:8080/search

When the end-user invokes this URL, the Search page, which is a Java web application, is launched.

For more detailed information about conducting basic and advanced searches, including information about keywords and optional query operators, see the online Help provided with the search engine. To access this information, click the Help link on the Search page.
