Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Before You Start the Solr Search Engine
Once you have installed a Solr Search Engine instance, you need to start it. Before doing so, you need to do the following:
- Create new system variables on the Search Engine server host:
Variable:= JAVA_HOME
Value: = <home folder of JDK>. For example:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31Note The Service Manager 9.60 Solr Search Engine requires JDK 1.8 (either Oracle or OpenJDK). The latest JDK 1.8 is recommended.
- Variable: JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
Value:-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
-
Add one of the following lines to the sm.ini file, located in the <Service Manager install>\Server\RUN directory.
plugin0:kmplugin.dll (if the SM server is running on Windows)
plugin0:libkmplugin.so (if the SM server is running on Unix)
-
If your sm.ini file already contains the following line, remove it.
KMSearchEngineClass:com.hp.ov.sm.server.plugins.knowledgemanagement.solr.KMSolrSearch
Note This parameter is no longer needed for Service Manager Solr Search Engine version 9.41 or later. If it is present in the sm.ini file, a warning message will occur in the Service Manager server log (sm.log).
-
Once you have modified the
sm.inifile, restart the Service Manager server.
Now, you are ready to start the Solr Search Engine. For details, see Start and Stop the Solr Search Engine.
