Configure custom portal themes to include the search box

Enable the portal users to use the Portal Search box and Search portlet in your own custom theme.

The Portal Search box is included as part of the themes of a portal installation. If you use your own custom themes with the portal and want your users to be able to use the Portal Search box and Search portlet, make sure that custom themes include the Portal Search box.

The code for including the search box in a theme is located in the file wps.war/themes/html/IBM/banner_searchControl.jspf.

This file is located in the file wps.ear in the directory PortalServer_root/installableApps .

To make the search box available for users in custom theme, do either of the following:

• Copy the contents of the file into custom theme files.

• Copy the file into your theme and include it directly.
