Create a custom search option for elements in CCMS Web

To index elements, IXIA CCMS uses units rather than indexes. You cannot add a custom search option for units, but there is a workaround.

1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
2. Expand the Content Store's Repository node, and locate the search.options.xml file in the /system/webplatform/configuration/ collection.
   Note: If the file does not exist, you can get a template for it from the CCMS_ContentStoreConfiguration directory of the MadCap Software Downloads site: https://cms.ixiasoft.com/downloads/CCMS_7.5/.
3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
4. Add the following within the <indexes> element

   <index name="tags">
       <captions>
           <caption lang="de" prompt="Elemente"/>
           <caption lang="en" prompt="Elements"/>
           <caption lang="fr" prompt="Elements"/>
           <caption lang="ja" prompt="要素"/>
       </captions>
   </index>

   This custom search uses the existing tags unit.

5. Save, close, and check in the file.
6. Refresh the Web Server.
7. Refresh the browser cache if the new search option is not available after refreshing the Web Server.
