Using Bookmarks

The search feature is often used in conjunction with bookmarks. When you locate an item through a search, you can bookmark that item, and the item is automatically added to your personal Bookmarks portlet.

For example, suppose that you want to create a portlet that contains links to news Web sites. You might first try searching for links that already exist in the portal. From the search results, you can bookmark the link items that you want to keep. You bookmark an item by clicking the Actions menu next to the item that you want to bookmark, and then by selecting Bookmark. A Bookmark icon appears next to the selected item, as shown in the following display:

Notice that several items have been bookmarked in the list. These items are automatically added to your Bookmarks portlet.
