Making Multiple Document Collections

QuestAgent's search applets supports multiple document collections, allowing the user to choose one collection to search at a time. (Using JavaScript, you can programmatically search through each collection one after the other.)

To create a multiple index collection:

1. Open QuestManager.
2. Create separate index profiles and index files.
3. Open the profile of the collection you want to be the first index in the list.
4. Use the Deployment dialog panel to enter the full path and filename to the additional profile. Click Add. The profile name is added in the list.
5. Add additional profiles, as needed, as described in step 4.
6. Click the Deployment dialog OK button to generate all index files and directories. Each index resides in a different directory. If your primary index directory is named data, the second index is stored in data2, the third index in data3, and so on.

Note: QuestManager automatically generates applet parameter entries for multiple collections.
