Serving > Front Ends > OneBox Modules

You can specify one or more OneBox modules for each front end. The appliance evaluates each search query for this front end and invokes a OneBox module only if its trigger matches the search query.

When a Search Query Invokes Multiple OneBox Modules

An appliance might invoke multiple OneBox modules in response to a search query, but all modules might not return results. A OneBox module might encounter an error, fail to generate results, or respond too slowly and time out. Of the timely result sets that return from a query, the appliance always displays a specific number, based on the setting specified on the Serving > Front Ends > OneBox Modules page.

In addition to selecting OneBox modules for this front end, you specify their priorities with respect to each other. When there are multiple result sets, but only a limited number can be displayed, the appliance chooses result sets based on your priorities. The appliance displays result sets from OneBox modules that are higher in the Selected Modules list before it displays result sets from modules that are lower in the Selected Modules list.

Select OneBox Modules

The Available Modules list includes all previously defined OneBox modules. The Selected Modules list specifies the OneBox modules that search queries in this front end can invoke.

To add a OneBox module for use in this front end:

1. Select a OneBox module from the Available Modules list.
2. Click the right arrow to move the module to the Selected Modules list.
3. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to specify the priority for each module.
4. Click Save Settings when you are done. Expect some delay while the settings take effect.
