Making the Search Function Available in the Help Center

The Help Center search function enables users to search the available Help Center content, which includes notes, frequently asked questions, links to files and Web pages, and the SAP Library and glossary installed for the system. Once you have performed the necessary configuration, you can integrate the search function into the Help Center.

Procedure

Make the required configuration settings for the SAP NetWeaver search solution Embedded Search, on which the Help Center search function is based.

To make Help Center content that is not saved in the database of the SAP system available for the search, proceed as follows:
- Define the logical path to the network folder containing the files that the Help Center links to, and enter this logical path in the Help Center Implementation Guide.
