Hi,
I have some questions regarding the search:
The Web Content search seems to only include content that is actually put on some page.
If a Web Content is displayed e.g. only through the Asset publisher the Web Content search does not find those articles (yes, I did re-index everything).
But they are found when using the portal wide search instead (which makes it even more confusing for the user)
The "Search Portlet" (portal-wide) always searches in all portlets, even in disabled ones.
I'm not using Blogs, Wiki, Forum etc.
So: how can I control the portlets that are searched by the portal search? I want to restrict this to Web Content and Document Library
And how can I adjust the display of the search result?
(I guess I already know that answer: I need patch the Liferay source code
):
Making the results from the blog search the most prominent one is ridicolous. Web Content is a lot more important for an enterprise portal. The "result" for the blogs is even displayed when the portlet is disabled (leaving 3/4 of the page blank and the relevant search results are hidden in a tiny little "Web Content" result area.

That is inevitable 
But as Victor and I have discussed in that post , it'll be good to have that level of customization in the serach portlet by default. As per your requirement its just commenting out few lines in the liferay-portlet.xml
Thanks & Regards

Just for the record:
My workaround is to change search.jsp and instead of
I'm manually adding the portlets I want to search:
Your suggestion to retrieve only the portlets used in the community:
did not work for me. With that code no search results were shown (seems that the list of portlets is empty in this case)
Unfortunately I hear that way too often.
Having to customize the portal by patching the source creates a maintenance nightmare when you want to upgrade to a new version.

List portlets = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortlets(company.getCompanyId(), false, false);I'm manually adding the portlets I want to search:
List portlets = new ArrayList();
Portlet webContent = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortletById(company.getCompanyId(), "15");
portlets.add(webContent);
Portlet docLib = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortletById(company.getCompanyId(), "20");
portlets.add(docLib);

Hi Thomas
Yes you can do that or as I said you can comment out the open search classes in liferay-portlet.xml, either ways it'll serve the purpose.
That works fine for me though.
Yeah that's very true and so we have been blessed by liferay with ext
Thanks & Regards
