The following sections discuss the issues involved in the coexistence and migration of Web Search and QuickFinder:
This section provides information regarding the coexistence of QuickFinder Server 4.0 with existing NetWare or Linux networks, and with previous versions of the product.
The following table summarizes the compatibility of QuickFinder 4.0 with various network operating systems:
Web Search and QuickFinder cannot run on the same NetWare machine, but you can have as many versions of QuickFinder and Web Search as you want in your network.
After upgrading from a previous version of Web Search or QuickFinder Server, be aware of the following issues:
If you are upgrading QuickFinder (including the original OES version) on a NetWare server that is running Web Search, the QuickFinder install recognizes the older installation and migrates the configuration settings and indexes that QuickFinder uses.
If you are migrating from an existing NetWare server with Web Search to a new NetWare server with QuickFinder, the NetWare Migration Wizard handles the migration in such a way that everything is migrated from Web Search to QuickFinder on the new server.
If you are migrating from an existing NetWare server with Web Search to a new Linux server with QuickFinder, you must manually copy files from NetWare to Linux so that everything doesn't have to be newly created.
You must regenerate any older indexes before they can be searched (see Generating Indexes).
The new template files are not placed in the <qfsearch>/Templates directory because this would overwrite any changes you might have made to them.
Instead, the new template files are placed in the <qfsearch>/Templates/Samples directory. To take advantage of the functionality the new templates provide, copy the template files from the <qfsearch>Templates/Samples directory to the <qfsearch>/Templates directory.
