Creating a Search Hub With the .NET Interface Editor

The Coveo .NET Front-End comes with a default search hub. Because the default search hub configuration is overwritten when you upgrade to a new CES version or release, it is not recommended to modify and use the default search hub. You should rather create, modify, and use custom search hubs.

Example: You can create a Sales search hub that includes the People and CRM search interfaces.

To create a new search hub with the .NET Interface Editor

1. Access the Coveo .NET Front-End Interface Editor (see Opening the .NET Interface Editor).

2. Select the Search Hubs tab.

3. On the menu, select Create a new Search Hub from the Current Hub drop-down list.

   

4. In the page that appears:

   

   1. In the Name box, enter name for your hub. The name must not include spaces or special characters.

   2. In the Copy From drop-down list, select the existing search hub on which the new search hub is based.

   3. Click Create.

You may want to perform the following tasks:

• Set the general search hub parameters (see Configuring the General Search Hub Parameters With the .NET Interface Editor).

• Assign specific search interfaces to the new search hub (see Making Search Interfaces Available in a Search Hub With the .NET Interface Editor).

• Use the new search hub in an ASPX page (see Integrating a .NET Search Hub in ASP).
