The search mode can be specified independently for each record search operation contained in a navigation query, as well as for the dimension search query.
Valid search modes are the following:
|
Search mode |
Description |
|---|---|
|
MatchAll |
Match all user search terms (that is, perform a conjunctive search). This is the default mode. |
|
MatchPartial |
Match some user search terms. |
|
MatchAny |
Match at least one user search term. |
|
MatchAllAny |
Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match at least one. MatchAllAny is not recommended in cases where queries can exceed two words. For example, a query on womens small brown shoes would return results on each of these four words and thus be essentially useless. In general, MatchAllPartial is a better strategy. |
|
MatchAllPartial |
Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match some. Because you can configure this mode to match at least two or three words in a multi-word query, MatchAllPartial is generally a better choice than MatchAllAny. |
|
MatchPartialMax |
Match a maximal subset of user search terms. |
|
MatchBoolean |
Match using a Boolean query. |
