The core Search module provides the ability to configure search pages; search page types are provided by both core and contributed modules. The core modules that provide search page types are:

As an alternative to the core Search module's system of search pages, you can use contributed modules to provide site search. For example, the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/apachesolr">Apache Solr</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/sphinx">Sphinx</a> contributed modules use third-party technology to provide site search.

What are the limitations of the core Search module?
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
There are two main limitations of the core Search module. First, it is not appropriate for very large sites -- if you have a large site, look into other search technologies like Apache Solr. Second, the Node search page type only supports exact keyword matching, which is not the behavior that most users will expect. You can improve this by installing a language-specific stemming module for your language (such as <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/porterstemmer">Porter Stemmer</a> for American English), which makes it so that, for example, a search for the word walk would match pages containing the words walk, walking, and walked.

What are the search permissions?

Source string (Built-in English)
Users with <em>Use search</em> permission can use the <em>Search form</em> block and <em>Search</em> page; this permission is required for any search configured in the core Search module.

Configuring site search overview
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
In order to configure site search using the core Search module, you will need to configure one or more search pages. You will also need to verify or alter permissions so that the desired user roles can search the site. (See @user_overview_topic for more information about roles and permissions.) For content search, you will also need to make sure that the search index is configured and that the site is fully indexed. Finally, you may wish to place the <em>Search form</em> block on pages of your site, or add the search page to a navigation menu, to give users easy access to search. See the related topics listed below for specific tasks.

The Shortcut module allows users to create sets of <em>shortcut</em> links to commonly-visited pages of the site. Shortcuts are contained within <em>sets</em>. Each user with <em>Select any shortcut set</em> permission can select a shortcut set created by anyone at the site. For more information, see the <a href=":shortcut">online documentation for the Shortcut module</a>.

Adding and removing shortcuts
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
The Shortcut module creates an add/remove link for each page on your site; the link lets you add or remove the current page from the currently-enabled set of shortcuts (if your theme displays it and you have permission to edit your shortcut set). The core Claro administration theme displays this link next to the page title, as a gray or yellow star. If you click on the gray star, you will add that page to your preferred set of shortcuts. If the page is already part of your shortcut set, the link will be a yellow star, and will allow you to remove the current page from your shortcut set.

Displaying shortcuts
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
You can display your shortcuts by enabling the <em>Shortcuts</em> block on the <a href=":blocks">Blocks administration page</a>. Certain administrative modules also display your shortcuts; for example, the core <a href=":toolbar-help">Toolbar module</a> provides a corresponding menu link.
