Where Is the Search Experience Created?

As indicated in the previous sections, you control most aspects of the search experience using the
search appliance Admin Console. Many of the Admin Console pages that you use to create the search
experience are front end pages. However, some elements of the search experience are created using
different pages in the Admin Console.
