Ektron's Search Server Configuration Screen

Use Ektron's Search Server Configuration screen to manage the Ektron's implementation of Microsoft Search Server 2010. The screen has three major parts.

IMPORTANT: Ektron‘s Search Configuration screen provides access to a few commonly-used features of Microsoft’s Search Server. To fully utilize Search Server’s capabilities, use the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration utility.
