  1. Add search portlet
  2. Click Configuration
  3. Click Advanced
  4. Add (replace the data value with this):
"data":
{ "values":
[ "com.liferay.knowledgebase.model.KBArticle",
"com.liferay.portlet.bookmarks.model.BookmarksEntry",
"com.liferay.portlet.blogs.model.BlogsEntry",
"com.liferay.portlet.calendar.model.CalEvent",
