Adding Search Categories

Search categories are a way for you to create groups of quick searches and organize them in categories, similar to the search categories on Internet search engine sites, such as Yahoo. (For example, you may want to create search categories for Arts, Literature, Computers, Math, Geography, and so forth.)

Additionally, you can organize searches into sub-categories. (For example, under the search category of Literature, you may want to create sub-categories for Classical, Popular, Modern, and so forth.) Eventually, each search category and sub-category ends in quick searches that your users can perform by simply clicking on the hyperlink.

When you have created a set of root search categories that you want Information Portal to display together on a page, you can put them in search category groups. (For more information on search category groups, see Organizing Search Category Groups.)
