public class SearchFormHandler
extends SearchFormHandler

This form handler is used to search the catalog repository for products and categories. The handler can be used to perform four types of searching: keywords, text, advanced, and hierarchical. All four types use a boolean to turn that searching feature on and propertyName to specify on which properties to search. This form handler examines each boolean and if true, appends that subquery to the full query string. The itemTypes property specify what items in the catalog repository definition to search. For the catalog, these will likely be 'product' or 'category' or both. Configuration files will be used to specify what searching to perform on which property values and item types.

Keyword
Keyword searching uses keyword property names and an input search string to search product and/or category keywords. Values entered will be used to build the subQuery for keyword matching.

keywordsPropertyNames

array of property names to search

keywords

array of keyword strings to search for. If not set, will search list of strings in property searchInput

searchInput

alternate strings to search for. If keywords property is not set, this string will be parsed using the deliminator keywordInputSeparator and the resulting array of strings will be used instead. This property is shared by Text searches.

keywordInputSeparator

a single character that is used as a deliminator to parse searchInput. The default value is a single space.

toUpperCaseKeywords

set this to "true" to force keywords to be converted to upper-case before the query is run.

toLowerCaseKeywords

set this to "true" to force keywords to be converted to lower-case before the query is run.

Text
Text searching uses text property names and an input search string to do a text pattern matching on properties. Values entered will be used to build the subQuery for text searching.

textSearchPropertyNames

list of property names to search. If not specified, the default list of text properties configured in the repository will be used.

searchStringFormat

the format to use i.e. "ORACLE_CONTEXT", "SYBASE_SDS"

searchInput

The string to search for. If a repository is configured to use a full-text search engine, this string can include native search language of that engine. On the other hand, if a repository is configured to simulate full-text queries (simulateTextSearchQueries=true), the SQL LIKE operator will be used to determine whether the target value is a substring of any of the text properties being searched. This property is also used for Keyword searches if the keywords property is not set.

minScore

minimum required score that the results must meet or exceed in order to be returned by the full-text search engine. See vendor docs for more information on the meaning and use of the score value. [NOTE: Current repository implementations don't yet support this feature of full-text searches. It is provided for future use.]

Advanced
Advanced searches provide possible search options for each property specified in AdvancedSearchPropertyNames. For example, enumerated types will be defined in the repository with a set number of values. Advanced searching will retrieve these values from the definition to display in a select box. The advanced query will be built from options selected to further refine the catalog search.

Hierarchical
Hierarchical searches look in a subset of categories, starting from a given category, including also that category's child categories, and also those children's children, i.e., all descendant categories of the original category. The given category is indicated by the repository ID in the hierarchicalCategoryId property.

Price
Price searches take a pricePropertyName, which is the name of the property of the product to search for the price on. This property can be a subreference (i.e., childSKUs.listPrice). It also takes a priceRelation, which is a comparison operator (i.e., ">", ">=", "=", etc.). Finally, it takes a price, which must be a valid number. The search will return the products whose priceProperty contains a value that has the proper relation with the price given.

Sku
This is an open-ended text search on the childSKUsPropertyName for the "sku" input. All products that contain a sku with an id that contains the given "sku" substring will be returned.
