To create a background search query, you create a template
and a template-based sweep. Multiple sweeps can be created from the
same template.
Before you begin
If you want the search results of your query to be
downloadable as a CSV file, install the Reporting Enablement Extensions
add-on for the object store. For information about installing
add-ons, see Installing an add-on feature to an object store.
For information about other ways that search results can be exported
to a CSV file, see Search result processing.
About this task
The template primarily consists of three interrelated
elements:
- The search expression
- Parameter properties
- Search result properties
You specify parameter values when the sweep is created
from the template. Also, when you create the sweep, you can limit
the number of search results for query testing purposes.
Procedure
To create a background search query:
- Start the New Background Search Class Template wizard in
the administration console:
- In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
- In the object store navigation pane, select the folder.

- As necessary, edit the attributes of the custom property
templates that the wizard creates automatically for parameters

sweep.
