Smart Search Admin Overview

This section is where you can manage how the search will function on your site.

• The globe and file piles chosen in the site map are what is being searched. You can mark as little or as much as you would like.
• Index Type
  • Metadata – choosing this option means the search will only look at the Metadata of the site in order to produce results. 
  • dtSearch – choosing this option allows for a broader search result from the pages of your website and allows you to customize how your search finds results.
• These items can be configured if you have your Index Type set to dtSearch:

• Stemming = Stemming extends a search to cover grammatical variations on a word. For example, a search for fish would also find fishing. A search for applied would also find applying, applies, and apply.
• Phonic searching = Phonic searching looks for a word that sounds like the word you are searching for and begins with the same letter. For example, a phonic search for Smith will also find Smithe and Smythe.
• Index Numbers = If your documents contain a lot of numbers and you do not expect to want to search for them, clear this checkbox to make dtSearch exclude numbers from your index. This will make your indexes smaller and will speed indexing.

• NOTE: Under Titan Administration, there are jobs that are set up to update the search indexes on a regular basis.
