When you administer Search Merchandising using an Administer Commerce Search project, you can work with the Segment List view and the Property Prioritization view, which are not available in Manage Commerce Assets projects. Additionally, the Search Configurations Tree view and Base Search Configurations view provide more functionality to administrators in Administer Commerce Search projects than they do in Manage Commerce Assets projects.
Segment List View
The Segment List view displays the segment lists that you can configure for Merchandising. You use the Merchandising segment list to designate the segments available for use as dimension values in search configurations and search configuration folders.
The following figure shows how the Merchandising segment list appears in Segment List view:
From this view, you can perform the following tasks:
Select segments created in the Personalization module for use in Merchandising.
Rearrange the order in which segments will appear in dialog boxes to merchandisers.
Remove segments from the list of segments available to Merchandising.
For instructions, see Configuring the Segment Dimension.
Note: You can also edit segment lists from the Personalization area of ATG Business Control Center. See Configuring Segment Lists in the ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide.
Property Prioritization View
In Property Prioritization view, you work with the properties that merchandisers rank in search configurations and base search configurations.
The following figure shows an example of Property Prioritization view:
From this view, you can perform the following tasks:
Select product or SKU properties that can be used for ranking properties in result prioritization rules.
Remove a property from property prioritization so that it no longer appears when creating result prioritization rules.
For instructions, see Managing the Properties Available for Property Prioritization. For more information about result prioritization rules, see Defining Search Configurations in the ATG Merchandising Guide for Business Users.

In an Administer Commerce Search project, you can perform the following additional administrative tasks from the Search Tree Configuration view:
Create and delete search configuration folders.
Reorganize the search configuration tree.

Base Search Configurations View
In an Administer Commerce Search project, you can perform the following additional administrative tasks from the Base Search Configurations view:
