How to Configure the Google Data Source

CA Open Space integrates with Google Search to provide search results from Google directly within CA Open Space. Google Search is configured for you; no additional setup is necessary. You enable or disable this feature for all users by editing the Google data source. The Google data source includes a global local setting. This setting allows you to specify a country to focus your users search results. This setting is a global setting that affects all users; users cannot set this value individually.

Follow these steps:

Select Data Sources from the Administration page.
Click the arrow for the Google data source.
Select STATUS as Enabled.
Specify the country to focus your search results for the selected geography.
Click SAVE.
Google Search is enabled. When CA Open Space users search for information from the Google Data source, the results are provided by Google from the respective geographic region of the user.

Note: If the user is using a proxy server to use the internet, add the following entries in the portal-ext.properties file located in the OSOP folder of the CA Open Space installation directory:
```
# Aquila Search
```
```
aquila.search.googleProxyUserName=	
```
```
aquila.search.googleProxyPassword=
```
```
aquila.search.googleProxyIP=
```
```
aquila.search.googleProxyPort=
```
```
aquila.search.useProxyForGoogle=yes
```
