Default search results configuration
Introduction
Funnelback provides configuration options to control the default behaviour of the search results screens.
Domain to search mappings
Funnelback can automatically redirect or map specified domain names to a particular collection and profile combination automatically.
This means that several domains (eg. search.site1.com, mysearch.site.com.au) can be configured to reference the Funnelback server, with each one redirecting to a different search.
The redirects apply as soon as the redirects.cfg
file is saved.
e.g. When someone visits http://search.mycompany.com
redirect this to http://FUNNELBACKSERVER/s/search.html?collection=<COLLECTION>&profile=<MYPROFILE>
.

Search defaults
Create server-wide configuration settings for queries received by Funnelback.
Create server-wide collection configuration defaults to specify default display and ranking settings by setting a server-wide default for the query_processor_options
.
Use this to set defaults for options including:
- Number of results to return (
num_ranks
) - Summary mode (
SM
) and metadata fields to return (SF
) - Results sort mode (
sort
)
Collection listing
Configure the page that is returned when the Funnelback server is visited with no collection (or matching domain to default search mapping as described above.)
See: Configure the collection listing screen
Error pages
Configure error pages returned by Funnelback:
- Template not found: error page returned when the specified template does not exist.
- Cache version unavailable: error page returned when the cached version of a result cannot be retrieved.
