This tutorial steps you through protecting search results... by requiring that users logon to BadBlue before viewing the results of a search. This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with the basic Password-Protection Tutorial. Step 1 The Manage tab (highlighted in yellow at right) is used to manage your BadBlue server. Click the Manage tab. Step 2 Click the Setup Search link (highlighted). Step 3 On the Setup Search page, enter the BadBlue installation path followed by the name search.htx, then press the Share button. For example, enter: c:\program files\badblue\pe\search.htx Then press the Share button. Note that if you did not install to the default installation folder (or use BadBlue Enterprise Edition) you may need to specify a different folder in front of search.htx. Step 4 Click on the Manage tab again (highlighted). Step 5 Click the 'Password-protect files' link (highlighted). This will let you choose folders or files to be password-protected. Step 6 Select the shared area that was created in step 3 (search.htx - highlighted), then press the 'Require user authentication' button. Step 7 To test the search, click the 'Search tab', then enter a phrase that matches one or more files that you shared using the Search Tutorial. Press the Go! button. Before viewing any search results, a 'Enter Password' box will appear. Now users visiting your PC will only see search results if they have a valid user account.
