• Key Concepts: 
  A seed URL is a starting point for a search engine to begin crawling the web. It is a URL that is used to initiate the process of indexing webpages. In the context of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search, a seed URL is used to define the scope of the search engine’s indexing process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a seed URL, you must first define the scope of your search engine. This can be done by specifying the domain or subdomain that you want to be indexed. Once you have defined the scope, you can then enter the seed URL into the search engine’s configuration. The search engine will then begin crawling from this URL and indexing all webpages within the specified domain or subdomain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the scope of your search engine, it is important to ensure that you are not including any irrelevant webpages in your index. This can be done by carefully selecting your seed URL and ensuring that it only points to relevant webpages. Additionally, it is important to regularly update your seed URL in order to ensure that your search engine’s index remains up-to-date.
