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 |

Add a content server for Smart Search
User Role: Administrator
As an initial setting, Micro Focus deployed one content server at main level, and two content servers at Smart Search level. If the default or existing smart search content servers are not enough for the indexed data, you may need to add additional content server(s).
To add a content server for Smart Search, follow these steps:
-
Install a content server by using Smart Analytics installer. For details about installing a content server, see Install Smart Analytics on Windows or Install Smart Analytics on Linux.
Note Make sure the content server configured the Service Manager server and Smart Search proxy server as its client. These configuration are set in content’s configuration file.
Make sure Smart Search proxy also configured the new content server as its client (in the level2proxy\IDOLServer.cfg file). Service Manager Server uses load balance, therefore, all slave Service Manager addresses should be specified in these configuration files and corresponding sections.
The following are configuration items about clients:
[Service]ServiceStatusClients=127.0.0.1, SmarSearchProxyAddress, SMServerAddress,SmartAnalytivsServerAddress.*ServiceControlClients=127.0.0.1, SmarSearchProxyAddress, SMServerAddress,SmartAnalytivsServerAddress.*[Server]QueryClients=127.0.0.1,SmarSearchProxyAddress,SMServerAddress,SmartAnalyticsServerAddress.*AdminClients=127.0.0.1,SmarSearchProxyAddress,SMServerAddress,SmartAnalyticsServerAddress.*IndexClients=127.0.0.1,SmarSearchProxyAddress,SMServerAddress,SmartAnalyticsServerAddress.* -
Make sure the Smart Search proxy server has configured the new content servers as its clients. You need to configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the new content serverin the level2proxy\IDOLServer.cfg file for the following items.
- ServiceStatusClients
- ServiceControlClients
- QueryClients
- AdminClients
- IndexClients
You may need to restart the Smart Search proxy server after you update the configuration file.
- After you start a new content server, go to the Smart Analytics Assistant page to add it to the Smart Search Content by clicking the Add link in the Smart Search Content section. For details about using Smart Analytics Assistant, see Use Smart Analytics Assistant.
- Repeat the above steps if you want to add more content servers.
-
Click the Redistribute link to balance data distribution. This step is mandatory to mark the new content server active.
Note We recommend that you back up your existing content servers before you run the Redistribute action. It may take a long time to redistribute your data among all Smart Search content servers.
