The purpose of this section is to outline the principles involved in the Search architecture and enable you to make the best decision for your site. The examples that follow deal solely with Search components; everything else is represented as “Client Application.” For diagrams that show Search integrated with other ATG products, see the Search Installation Roadmaps section of this chapter.
In the diagrams that follow, the light gray boxes represent ATG servers, which can be, but are not necessarily, analogous to hardware resources. Dark gray boxes, when present, represent standalone Search engines.
