Introduction

The Geoportal extension search is a powerful way to discover metadata documents leading to valuable data resources. The following sections describe how to use Geoportal extension search functionality to its fullest.



You can also search a Geoportal from the browser directly by adding it to your list of search providers.

The results that are returned from a user's search are determined by the rules defined by the geoportal concerning how information within a published metadata document are indexed. For more information on indexing, see How Lucene Indexing Works in the Geoportal.
