This section describes the overall process of search project creation. For details on creating and configuring a project’s components, see the additional sections referred to.
Note: Only Production projects can be created using New Search Project. You cannot change the target type of a Production project. For all other project types, see Copying and Linking Search Projects. Site Administration uses the Production projects to determine what content labels are used.
To create a search project:
Go to the Projects tab in the left navigation area.
Click the Projects link.
On the Projects page, click the New Production Project button.
In the General section of the New Project page, enter the project’s name (required) and description (optional).
If the new project does not contain searchable content, check the No Content Items in this Search Project option. An example of a project with no content is a type-ahead project; see Appendix D, Implementing Type-Ahead.
Provide a name (required) and description (optional) for the project’s first content set, or use the defaults.
If more than one content label is available for the first content set, select the Content Label to use; if only one label is available, it is assigned to the content set automatically. See the Before You Begin—Global Settings section for information on content labels.
Click the Create Search Project button.
Click the Add Content button to specify content to index in this project. See the Adding Content to Search Projects section for information.
Click the Build Index button to create an initial index from the specified content using the default environment. See the Building Indexes section for information.
