Configuring Text Search
400 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
Configuring Manually
The search function examines several configuration files to determine how
search is configured on your server. These files define system settings, user-
defined variables, and information about your search collections. You normally
change this information through the Enterprise Server’s Search pages, but you
can also modify the files manually with your own text editor. Some of the
implications of changing the configuration files in order to customize the user
interface are discussed in “Customizing the Search Interface” on page 434.
Note
It is not recommended that you make any manual modifications to your
configuration files, but if you do, you must restart the server for your
modifications to take effect.
The Configuration Files
The configuration files that govern searching are:
•
webpub.conf
—This system configuration file contains system settings and
file paths. In your server’s
obj.conf
file, the search system initialization is
mapped to the
webpub.conf
file. When you use the Search Configuration
and Search Pattern Files windows, the data you input is reflected in the
webpub.conf
file. You can customize your server’s search configuration
by changing some of the settings in the
webpub.conf
file, but in general,
you can make the changes you need through the Enterprise Server’s
windows.
•
userdefs.ini
—This user definitions file defines the user-defined pattern
variables. In the
webpub.conf
file, this is mapped to the
userdefs.ini
file for your language (English, German, Japanese, and so on).
You can customize a search interface by creating and defining your own
pattern variables in the
userdefs.ini
file that can be used throughout
your pattern files. For more information, see “User-defined Pattern
Variables” on page 440.
•
dblist.ini
—This collection contents file describes collection-specific
information. When you create and maintain collections, the
dblist.ini
file is updated for you with information about your collections.
