Searching a website (crawling)

This section describes how to configure a searchable file directory so that the directory is included in the index (crawling).

This is how it works

  1. Click Configuration on the start page.

  2. Under Enterprise search, choose the entry Search provider.

  3. Click the cog icon in the group File directories, shares and websites (ElasticSearch) and select the entry Connections.

  4. Select a file directory and click the play icon to start the crawl. If you want to run a one-time crawl, you should select the Full option the first time you activate the crawl.

  5. Choose Start to start the website crawl.

You are now shown an overview of the started crawl. You can open and view the overview at any time by clicking the line for the website.

You have now successfully performed an initial crawl on the website. A check mark or the status Done appears if the crawl has been completed successfully.

If you set up regular crawls, the process is always run in full because a change date cannot be determined for websites.
