filters) from the "Defined Subcollection Filters" list, enter a name for your
partition in the "Partition Name" field, and click "Add Partition".
To remove a partition, select it from the list and click "Remove Partition".
To make a partition the default one, select it from the list and click "Set
Default".
This section details how to restrict search indexes to particular languages.
You do this by generating a partition using the "Assign Languages" tab of
the "Partition Indexes" view.
To add a new language to partition by, use the "Assign Languages" tab to
build an index for it. Select the desired language from the "Language to
add" pull-down list and click "Add Language".
To remove a language, select it from the "Language Selection" list and
click "Remove Language".
To set the default language, select it from the list and click "Set Default".
Greenstone can search across several different collections as though they
were one. This is done by specifying a list of other collections to be
searched along with the current one. Under "Design Sections", click
"Cross-Collection Search".
The Cross-Collection Search view shows a checklist of available
collections. The current collection is ticked and cannot be deselected. To
add another collection to be searched in parallel, click it in the list (click
again to remove it). If only one collection is selected, there is no crosscollection
searching.
If the individual collections do not have the same indexes (including
subcollection partitions and language partitions) as each other, crosscollection
searching will not work properly. The user will only be able to
search using indexes common to all collections.
