Crawling web content with search seedlists
Portal Search supports the use of seedlists to make crawling websites and their metadata more efficient and to provide content owners fine-grained control over how content and metadata are crawled. You can configure the portal to use seedlist support when crawling content generated with IBM® Web Content Manager.
About this task
Search seedlist 1.0 can make access control information available in a way that makes pre-filtering of contents possible. Pre-filtering provides the fastest filtering approach because it takes place in the search index level. An extra advantage of pre-filtering is that remote secured content sources can be searched from the portal. The filtering mode is defined as part of the search service configuration parameters.
Note: Support for generic seedlist 1.0 crawling
is only available with IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition Version 9.1
and later.
