Setting up Notes® users for domain search
Notes® client and Web users can search an entire Domino® domain for application documents, files, and attachments that match a search query. Notes® client users can perform domain searches as soon as you add the designated indexing server to the Catalog/domain search server field in their Location documents.
About this task
After you set up a domain search server for a Domino® domain, you can use policies to automate the process of setting up domain search for Notes® users in that domain. Record the name of the domain search server in the desktop policy settings document. Whenever existing users authenticate with their home server, Notes® checks desktop policy settings and updates the current Location document with the name of the domain search server.
The following circumstances require users to set up domain search at their client machines.
- A new user wants to do a domain search before the client machine has authenticated with its home server.
- A user wants to be able to do domain searches from alternate Notes® locations.
- A user wants to do a domain search in a Domino® domain other than the one to which the user belongs.
