Element Descriptions
Describes query configuration parameters. It contains these elements:
<search:maxNumResults> <search:displayUrls> <search:relevancyBoosting> <search:spellingCorrection> <search:hitCount> <search:queryStatistics> <search:urlSubmission> <search:federation> <search:queryTimeauthorization> <search:secureSearch>
Maximum number of search results returned by a query.
Describes the display URLs. It contains these elements:
<search:tableDisplayUrl> <search:fileDisplayUrl> <search:mailingListDisplayUrl> <search:emailDisplayUrl>
URL used to display the retrieved data for a table source.
URL used to display the retrieved data for a file source.
URL used to display the retrieved data for a mailing list source.
URL used to display the retrieved data for an e-mail source.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
enabled |
Set to true to enable relevancy boosting, or set to false otherwise. Required. |
Controls spelling correction. When enabled, this element contains these child elements:

Consider false if suggestions from crawled documents to all search users may breach security.
Contains a <search:countMethod> element.
One of these hit count methods:
APPROX_COUNT: Displays an estimated number of matching documents. This method supports better performance than EXACT_COUNT. (Default)
EXACT_COUNT: Displays the exact number of matching documents.
EXACT_COUNT_QTA: Displays the exact number of matching documents adjusted for query-time filtering.
The maximum number of exact results. An estimated number is returned for a higher number of results.
Controls the collection of search statistics. SEt to true to collect statistics, or set to false otherwise. This operation degrades search performance, so you should disable it during peak hours.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
enabled |
Set to true to enable collection or set to false otherwise. Required. |
Number of days the data is saved. Statistics are compiled for this number of days.
Controls the submission of URLs. When enabled, this element contains these child elements:

A Web source to which user-suggested URLs are added.
Controls the enforcement of boundary rules for URLs submitted by users. Set to true to accept only URLs that match the rules, or set to false to ignore the boundary rules.
Describes the querying parameters of federated sources. It contains these child elements:
<search:timeout> <search:minNumThreads> <search:maxNumThreads>
Contains the number of milliseconds for search results to be returned.
Contains the minimum number of processes to use for searching when demand is low.
Contains the maximum number of processes to use for searching when demand is high.
Describes authorization. It contains these optional child elements:
<search:timeout> <search:minNumThreads> <search:maxNumThreads> <search:logFilteredDocs>
Controls document logging. Set to true to record all filtered documents in the query application log file, or set to false otherwise
Query-time filtering errors are always logged.
Describes secure search. It contains these child elements:
<search:loginRequirement> <search:securityFilterLifespan> <search:authenticationTimeout> <search:authorizationTimeout> <search:minNumThreads> <search:maxNumThreads>
One of these log-in methods:
ALL_CONTENT: Users must log in to view any content, whether public or secure.
SECURE_CONTENT: Users must log in to view secure content.
Number of minutes a stored security filter is retained. Set to a value between 0 (no cache) and 526500 (one-year cache retention).
Number of milliseconds for authentication.
