Upon connection, the HTTP Search Server will prompt you for the Rulebase, followed by the system and search you would like to perform. When selecting the rulebase, note that the user must specify a

Dictionary Alias

name without the

ids:prefix

. This avoids having to give users access to the database password. This requirement is not available in

Custom Mode

, as the Rulebase must be specified in the config file.

Once in the search page, users can switch between different searches available to them. To switch between tabs, click the tabs at the top of the page.

To perform a search, the user must enter the appropriate information in the search fields on the top left of the page, then press

enter

, or click the

Search

button. The search data and browser encoding should be in UTF-8 format.

If the results are too wide, or too long to fit within the browser view port, scrollbars will appear indicating that more data is available. These scrollbars will scroll the results only - not the whole page. You can centre the results in the viewport so that they fill the whole browser. To centre the results, click the result summary (

56 results found for ...

).

You can manually override the prompt used by setting an environment variable with the desired label. This must be defined in the execution environment of the Search server. For example,

SSA_CNDS_LABEL=MySearch
