The Search workbench is used for creating and working with customization data, as well as viewing information about already built indexes. Customizations are used to enhance the out-of-the-box configuration for features such as languages, dictionaries, and topic sets.

Customization is the process of optimizing your ATG Search implementation to meet specific accuracy and search usability goals. Customizations typically add information to the index itself (such as additional dictionaries or term weights) or affect the way your content is processed or accessed by end-users (for example, Query Rules, Topic Sets, or Facet Sets).

Note: For information on adding customization data to your Search project, see the Managing Search Projects chapter of the ATG Search Administration Guide.
