When setting up Search, you configure components that determine the search environment to be queried. In a multisite environment, Search uses this configuration in conjunction with site context information to automatically generate query constraints that limit search results to those that are appropriate for both the search environment and the site context.

Out of the box, Search uses a search environment that is appropriate for most production systems. For details on this configuration and how to modify it, see the ATG Search Query Guide. For an example of how to pass site context information to Search in a JSP page, see Implementing a Multisite Search Control.
