3.4.2 Configuring Search Providers Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

By default, NWBC loads a list of search engines from the server, if configured. For more information, see 5.9 Menu. However, you can also configure additional search engines locally that can then be used in exactly the same way as the other integrated search engines (for example, the desktop search). For each search provider, you can only define the startup URL that is to be called with the query string. This search engine is then started in a new window.

Name

Description

Name

The name of the integrated search engine. This is the name that is displayed in the list of all search providers.

Mnemonic

Shorthand symbol that can be selected as search location in the quick launch.

URL

The URL that is used to start the query on the search engine. It must be the full URL as it would usually also be entered in a browser to start a query. Use the sequence {0} within the URL to mark the position where the search string should be placed.

Example Example

http://www.sap.com/search/index.epx?q1={0}

End of the example.

In the menu, your search providers are integrated in the standard search menu.
