ATG Search - how to create a search project

Here I am going to explain how we can create a new ATG search project.

It involves 3 steps --> Specify the general search project settings, Specify the content of search indexing and Build the index.


Below I am elaborating the different steps involved with screen shots :

1. Go to Search Project Administration ui @  BCC and Click the button "New Search Project" to create a new search project.


2. Specify the search project name, give description and click the button "Create Search Project".


3. Click the button "Add Content" to add the search project content.


4. Specify the content name, select the content type and specify the IndexingOutputConfig path if the content type is ATG repository. Specify the remote host and port if you are using another server for fetching the content.


5. Click the content in the left side and expand the advanced option to specify the language and other customizations.



6. Click the environments in the left side and you could see the environments.You can add/remove a new Production/Staging environment.


7. Click on the Environment name to specify the host where you want to run the search engine. Here you could add more search engine hosts.


8. After you specify all these details, click on the build index button to build the search index and to complete the search project creation.

How to simulate Browser back button

When someone asks how to simulate a back button, they really mean to ask how to create a link that points to the previously visited page. Most browsers tend to keep a list of which websites the user has visited and in what order they have done so. The DOM window object provides access to the browser's history through the history object. Moving backward and forward through the user's history is done using the   back(), forward(), and go() methods of the  history  object. To move backward through history, just do window.history.back() ; This will act exactly like the user clicked on the Back button in their browser toolbar. Find below a sample html code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function goBack(){  window.history.back() } </script> </head> <body>    <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html>
