Web Search is a search service solution designed for adding powerful search capabilities to individual Web sites. It is not intended to index the entire Internet. But because many Web sites are comprised of multiple Web servers located across an enterprise, Web Search was designed to be able to index hundreds, even thousands, of Web sites as part of a single search solution.
In addition to enterprise search solutions, Web Search can also be set up to host multiple, independent virtual search servers, all from a single NetWare 6 server. (See Becoming a Search Service Host.)
This chapter provides suggestions for creating a search solution that fits your particular needs and circumstances. If you are interested in hosting professional search services, you might want to read the section Becoming a Search Service Host.
