Creating a Search Web Service

Search web services allow you to specify general settings for your remote search repository, leaving the security settings to be set in the associated outgoing federated searches. This allows you to segregate access to your search repository through multiple outgoing federated searches.

Before you create a search web service, you must:
  • Install the search provider on the computer that hosts the portal or on another computer
  • Create a remote server pointing to the computer that hosts the search provider (optional, but recommended)
To create a search web service you must have the following rights and privileges:
  • Access Administration activity right
  • Create Web Service Infrastructure activity right
  • At least Edit access to the parent folder (the folder that will store the search web service)
  • At least Select access to the remote server that the search web service will use
  1. Click Administration.
  2. Open the folder in which you want to store the search web service.
  3. In the Create Object drop-down list, click Web Service — Search. The Search Web Service Editor opens.

The default security for this search web service is based on the security of the parent folder. You can change the security when you save this search web service (on the Security tab page in the Save As dialog box), or by editing this search web service (on the Security page of the Search Web Service Editor).

Portal administrators with at least Select access to this search web service can create outgoing federated searches based on the web service.
