Setting the Default Search URL in a GSA Mirroring
Configuration
In a mirroring configuration, the default search URL is specified using a relative URL. Whether you are
setting up GSA mirroring for the first time or updating the default search URL in an existing mirroring
configuration, change the default search URL on the master and the replica search appliances. The
default search URL on the master search appliance is not replicated to the replica search appliances.
For example, assume that you have one search appliance, gsa1, that you use for search. The default
search URL for gsa1 is
http://gsa1/search?site=default_collection&client=
default_frontend&proxystylesheet=default_frontend&proxycustom=%3CHOME/%3E
If you add a second search appliance, gsa2, and configure mirroring, you must change the default
search URL on the master search appliance to
/search?site=default_collection&client=default_frontend&proxystylesheet=
default_frontend&proxycustom=%3CHOME/%3E
To change the default search URL:
1. On the master search appliance, log in to the Admin Console.
2. Click Administration > System Settings.
3. Type the new default search URL in the Default Search URL field.
