Set up a collection by performing the following steps with the Admin Console:
1. Providing a name on the Crawl and Index > Collections page, shown in the following figure.
2. Entering the URL patterns you want to include in the collection, as well as URLs that you don’t want
to include.
3. Saving the collection.
Before you add a pull-down menu for searching by collection, you must choose a front end where you
want to implement it. Add a collection menu by performing the following steps:
1. Creating or choosing a front end for the menu on the Serving > Front Ends page.
2. Adding a collection menu by using either the Page Layout Helper (see “Using the Page Layout
Helper” on page 56) or the XSLT Stylesheet Editor (see “Using the XSLT Stylesheet Editor” on
page 57) on the Serving > Front Ends >Output Format page.
3. Saving the page layout.
