Administrators often deploy portal sites that users can access by using different URLs. It is important that functionality, such as search results for portal site and document library (Web Storage System-based) content, be appropriate for the URL that was used to access the portal site. External URLs must be provided to the user in a form that is appropriate for how the user is currently accessing the portal site. 2. Without alternate access settings, search results might be displayed in a way that would make them inaccessible to users.
