2.2.2 Interpreting Search Results

The Search Results Page can display items, pages, categories, or perspectives that meet your search criteria. It will not display: ■ Content that you are not authorized to view ■ Content that has expired, or is not yet published ■ Page content that is derived from a template ■ Portlet instances or Portal Smart Links ■ Multiple versions of an item. When versioning in enabled, only the current version of items are returned in search results. Figure 2–4 shows how search results are displayed. Note: New or recently modified portal content will not be returned in search results until the changes are reflected in the Oracle Text search indexes. If your portal is installed in Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Text indexes can be set up to synchronize immediately after portal content is added, updated, or deleted. Contact your portal administrator to learn more about the synchronization schedule for Oracle Text indexes in your portal.
