CoreMedia Search Manual, Version 7.5.45-10
Chapter 4. Searching for Content | 4.3. Configure Search for the Content Server

To search for documents in the Site Manager, Studio or custom client applications, you need to configure the CoreMedia Search Engine with the CoreMedia Content Server. The CoreMedia Content Server connects to the CoreMedia Search Engine to handle search requests for its clients.

	Caution
	Configure in the following files below WEB-INF: properties/corem/contentserver.properties config/contentserver/spring/search/search-solr.properties config/contentserver/spring/search/applicationContext.xml

Configuring the Search Engine Location

In file search-solr.properties configure the property search.solr.urls with the URL of the Apache Solr core. For example http://localhost:8081/solr/studio. If you change this setting, you have to restart the server. You can also configure multiple comma-separated URLs in this property if you want to use multiple Solr servers for failover and simple load balancing, but note that Studio always uses only the first configured URL.

If the Apache Solr web application has been secured and needs HTTP Basic authentication, you must also configure the required user name and password in the properties search.solr.username and search.solr.password.

Configuring the Search Engine Collection

In file search-solr.properties configure the property search.solr.collection with the name of the CoreMedia Search Engine collection.

search.solr.collection=studio

The Content Feeder stores the collection name in the field collection of Solr index documents. A search result only contains documents belonging to the same collection. To achieve this, the content server automatically adds the collection name to a user query. If you change this setting, you have to restart the server.

Enable or Disable Search

Search functionality is enabled by default. You can disable it by setting property cap.server.search.enable to false in the file contentserver.properties. If disabled in the Content Management Server, no search dialog will be available in the Site Manager. Note that Studio requires search to be enabled in the Content Management Server.

Configuring the CoreMedia Search Engine Timeout

In file search-solr.properties configure the property search.solr.connection.timeout with a timeout value in milliseconds used in HTTP requests to the search engine. The default value is 0, which means no timeout is applied.

search.solr.connection.timeout=0
