PrefaceThis document is a quick handbook for ATG Search Setup. This document is based on my hands-on ATG

experience. Document details out ATG Site and Search Setup step by step. The target audience of this

document is ATG application developers, Merchandiser and ATG search administrator.

Search Engine serves user request for catalog, product and information search on the website. This

document is step by step guide to setup production site and search engine from BCC. It is always

recommended to run search engine on dedicated box. Search engine plays critical role in providing

relevant information to users. Most of the initial http requests are served by search engine.

In this document, I have covered production site creation, search engine setup, adding content,

indexing, post index customization etc. The document is based on ATG9 libraries and ATG9-Search.

IntroductionATG is the worldwide leader in the E-commerce solutions. ATG product suite has enabled the vendors

to enable their e-commerce commercial capabilities.

ATG Search ArchitectureATG Search runs within a standard ATG platform installation. Due to the heavy performance demands of

indexing content and serving search responses, you must dedicate at least one machine in your network

exclusively to Search.

ATG Search has the following components:

Search Administration - the interface where you create projects, index content, deploy indexes,

etc. Runs within a standard ATG installation. You should have only one Search Administrationinstance in your installation.

The SearchAdmin.AdminUI module is required to run Search Administration.

Search engine - Serves answers to end-user queries. Does not require a full ATG installation.

Your installation can include any number of search engines, but should run only one search

engine per processor core. A single search engine can use up to 1.4GB of memory, assuming a

32-bit operating system. Your hardware should be sized accordingly.

The DAF.Search.Routing module starts the Search engine(s) either locally or remotely, and

coordinates communication between the client application, Search engine(s), and the Search

database. Runs within a standard ATG installation. You can run multiple instances of this

module, but one should always run along with Search Administration.

The DAF.Search.Base module is a lightweight routing module that can be run independent of

Search Administration. DAF.Search.Base is automatically included in Routing and contains base

routing functionality. It is also used stand-alone in client applications. You can run multiple

instances of this module.

Client application—The application through which your end-users place their search queries.

This application must include the DAF.Search.Base module, and must also include

DAF.Search.Query if your application uses legacy form handlers.

Search index - the searchable content deployed on your site. An index is composed of one or

more logical partitions, each of which is associated with a content set configured in Search

Administration. Each logical partition is composed of one or more physical partitions, each of

which is served up by a search engine.

Search database - consists of two repositories, one of which stores information about Search

engines, index structure, and deployment information, the other of which stores information

about users and Search Administration. Search Administration requires access to both

repositories. Both Search Administration and your client application must have access to the

routing repository.

The Search Administration, routing, and Search engines must all have access to the deployment share

directory. This is a scalable, shared directory where master copies of indexes are stored. This directory

should ideally be located on a high-performance machine separate from the Search Administration

machine. Routing and Search engine components must have access to this directory in order for indexes

to be deployed and searched.

Pre-RequisiteGoing ahead with the setup, assuming following dependencies are in place.

1. ATG9.1 installed and working.

2. ATG9 Search installation is done.

3. ATG9.1 Publishing is up and running.

4. ATG9.1 Production Site is up and running.

ATG Search SetupAssuming site creation is done and full deployment to production site is successful. Deployment is

important because unless we have catalog data in our LIVEA / LIVEB production database, indexing will

not contain anything. Always remember, search engine perform indexing on production schema.

Create Search Project 1. Open Search Administration browse projects and click on New Search Project.
