You can decide which source to set as the default search source.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

* If you set an additional resource as the default source that source is considered the default search source.
* If you don't mark any additional resource as the default source, then the searcher source is considered the default search source.
* If you don't have a searcher and you have not marked any additional resource as the default source, the default is the additional resource with the lowest value in the Order field.
