Verify Search - End User Search

Perform the following operations to verify that End User Search is enabled and functioning properly.

Run a Content Indexing Job on Notes Data

Before Notes data will appear in the End User Search page, it must be content indexed. Run a content indexing job for the Notes data you want to restore.

Before You Begin

Ensure your environment is configured for content indexing Domino or Lotus Notes data. See Content Indexing Domino or Lotus Notes Data.

Procedure
  1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Policies | Storage Policies.

    Right-click the <Storage Policy> for which content indexing was enabled and click All Tasks | Run Content Indexing.

  2. Select the Select Source MediaAgent check box, and then select the MediaAgent name from the list.

    Click OK to initiate the content indexing job.

Notes

  • By default, content indexing uses the MediaAgent based on the copy precedence on the storage policy.

  • If you want to select a different source MediaAgent, select the agent from the list.

  1. Open your web browser and type the End User Search URL in the address bar.
