BEA WebLogic Enterprise: Search Tips

• Due to browser incompatibilities, the WebLogic Enterprise Search button loads different search pages for Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer users. The search applet for Netscape users does not include the Highlight Keywords and Show navigation controls features. These features are available on the search page that is loaded when you click the WebLogic Enterprise Search button in Microsoft Internet Explorer. In Netscape, you can directly access the doc/wle/v41/qindex.htm applet file; however, if you do so, you must disable the Highlight Keywords and Show navigation controls options. Therefore, the qindex.htm applet offers no advantages over the default search applet for Netscape users.
• You can use an expression like building OR applications to find pages containing either keyword.
• You can also use parentheses in Boolean expressions. For example, you can enter (framework and IDL) OR Bankapp.
• You can use the asterisk (*) as a suffix wildcard character in keywords. For example, enter com.beasys.* to find pages with keywords such as com.beasys.Tobj or com.beasys.Tobj_Servant or com.beasys.Tobj.CannotProceed.
• If no matches are found, reword your query and try again.
• If matches are listed, double-click a matched entry.
• On some UNIX platforms, you may encounter a browser error similar to the following:
  
  Unable to start a java applet: Can't find 'java40.jar' in your CLASSPATH. Read the release notes and install 'java40.jar' properly before restarting.
  
  If the search applet does not work on your UNIX platform, try using the latest Netscape browser for the platform and add the Netscape Java Archive (JAR) file to your CLASSPATH environment variable. The path to the JAR file is in the directory in which you installed Netscape. For example:
  
  CLASSPATH=mytools/netscape/communicator/program/java/classes/java40.jar
  
  After you revise the CLASSPATH, exit Netscape and then restart Netscape in the updated environment. When you access the search page, the search feature should work properly.
