Profile Options (profile.cfg)

profile.cfg is the main configuration file for a funnelback frontend.

The profile.cfg configuration file is created when a profile within a collection is created (though it is permitted to be empty or absent). The profile.cfg configuration file can be edited by navigating from the administrator home page's through the Administer > Edit profile configuration.

Location

The locations on disk where these options can be read:

  • $SEARCH_HOME/conf/[collection]/[profile folder]/profile.cfg: This file is optional, options in this file have the highest precendence overriding values in all other files.
  • $SEARCH_HOME/conf/[collection]/collection.cfg: Options in this file provide defaults for all profiles within the collection.
  • $SEARCH_HOME/conf/collection.cfg: Options in this file provide defaults for all profiles in all collections.
  • $SEARCH_HOME/conf/collection.cfg.default: Options in this file are read only, this provides the product default values.

Format

The format of the file is a simple name=value pair per line, with the values $SEARCH_HOME and $COLLECTION_NAME automatically expanded to the funnelback installation path and the name of the current collection automatically.
