Use this reference when integrating ATG Search with other ATG applications. ATG’s integration tools provide objects that allow you to set parameters that control search behavior, which is ultimately conveyed in the form of an XML document. This book explains what those parameters are, their setting options, and the effects of each setting for the search process. This information is intended to help you understand Search configuration options in context, and to help with debugging queries.

The guide contains the following chapters:
