Understanding Search Contexts

Use search contexts to define which search groups appear in the search group drop-down Global Search Bar, depending on the context of the user. The context determines what appears in the drop-down relative to where the user is located.

A search group is a search category that you enable for the purpose of setting up search contexts. Currently, search groups can belong to the Home Page search context.

Note:

From PeopleTools 8.55, only the Home Page search context is available. That is, the Portal Node and Work Center search contexts are not available.

For the Home Page search context, a default search group can be selected. It is not required to have a default search group for the search context.
