Google Search Appliance: Getting the Most from Your Google Search Appliance Search Experience 45
For example, you might want to restrict search results by domain to ensure that searches in various
regions return only results with local information. Suppose you want to restrict results on the pages in
the United Kingdom to show only products and special offers available there, so you create a front end
for users in the U.K. Suppose the domain name for the U.K. is www.mycompany.com.uk. You might use
this domain name to create a domain filter so that when users in the U.K. perform a search, only results
that match the domain name appear. All domains ending with the name are filtered.
Because a filter is specific to a front end, you can aim a filter at a specific group of users.
Setting Up Filters
Set up a filter by performing the following steps with the Admin Console:
1. Creating or choosing a front end for the filter on the Serving > Front Ends page.
2. Setting up the filter on the Filters tab on the Serving > Front Ends > Output Format page, shown
in the following figure.
3. Saving the filter.
