If you associate a search configuration with a base search configuration, by default the search configuration inherits the property prioritization, search term relevance, and search term property match settings from the base search configuration. The screens where you specify rankings for property prioritization property values and searchable property rankings for search term property match displays the inherited settings, but they are not editable. For example:

If you don’t want the search configuration to use inherited prioritization settings, uncheck the Use prioritization settings checkbox. This clears the inherited settings and enables you to specify new settings that are local to the search configuration.

Note that a search configuration can inherit either all of the prioritization settings from a base search configuration or none of them. Unlike rules, inherited prioritization settings cannot be enabled or disabled individually.
