Using Federated Search in a Federated Portal Network 

By default, the KM search feature return results for a search query from the local portal installation. In a federated portal network, you can configure a consumer portal to include other registered producer portals in its search queries.

●      For information on configuring a consumer portal to include producer portal, see Configuring a Search in a Federated Portal.

If the consumer portal is not configured as described, the search will query only the local portal. In addition, if the federated search feature is activated you cannot configure which subset of producer portals is queried.

●      For information on using the KM federated feature at runtime, see Search in a Network of Portals.
