Using Keywords
You can define the input for the keyword search in the following ways:
A keyword is treated as partial text which can occur at the beginning of the searched strings. The
contains semantics are implied.
Example: If the keyword is customer, then the following matches are returned: A sample svc for customers as well as customerservice.
As you enter the partial text,
CentraSite returns the top n assets that meet your search text. You can choose to define the number of search results by configuring the property
numOfResultsToShow in the
centrasite.xml file. By default, the maximum number of results to display is set to
5.
As multiple keywords are OR combined, the keywords can match a single phrase (e.g. in the description) or individual keywords can occur in different attributes.
Example: If a search is conducted for customer service, then customer could be matched in the description and service in an object specific attribute.
The search is neither case nor accent sensitive. Example: A search for
abc will return the same results as a search for
ABC or
Abc.
If the search input field is empty, the search execution does not happen.
The keyword search can include wildcard characters. See
Using Wildcards for details.
