Searching Crawled Content

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub enables you to search on crawled content from the Global Search bar and from the feature-search pages. For this purpose, PeopleSoft Interaction Hub delivers the PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED search category that acts as a container for search definitions that you have defined for crawling

Alternatively, you can make each individual search category as a search group and assign it to a search context.

See Maintaining Search Contexts.

Note: The search on crawled content is performed against the search index and not the categorized content folders, so you can search on crawled content even if the Categorize Crawled Content Application Engine process has not been run.

To enable search on crawled content, complete the following tasks:

  1. Add the search definition that is created for crawling to the delivered PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED search category.

    Note: The PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED search category must be in an undeployed state in order to add search definitions to it or remove search definitions from it. .

    Note: Remove PAPP_SAMPLE_WEBSOURCE, which is delivered as an example category, from PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED, if present.

    See Delivered Search Definitions and Categories.

    See the product documentation for PeopleTools: Search Technology, “Creating Search Categories.”

  2. (Optional). Deploy the search definition that is added to the PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED search category. The associated search category will be deployed automatically.

    If the search definition was earlier deployed for crawling, this step is optional.

  3. Deploy the PAPP_CONTENT_CRAWLED search category.

    See Deploying Search Definitions and Categories.

  4. (Optional). Build the search index for the search definition deployed in Step 2.

    This step is optional if the search indexes have already been built while completing the steps for content crawling.

    See Building Search Indexes.

  5. Add users to the search groups.
