Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options

Search Page Configuration

Of the configurable pages, the pages that might require the most configuration are the search pages. In addition to defining the number of records to display in the search results list, you can also specify the search criteria that appear and the types of searches allowed from the MIDM.

You can define and name several search pages for each primary MIDM window, each with their own configuration. For each search page, you specify groups of fields that are displayed in boxed areas. Each boxed area can represent a different type of search, such as a demographic search, address search, EUID search, and so on. For the Records Details page searches, you must also specify the search types available for each search you define, such as alphanumeric or phonetic. You can configure searches by specifying a name for the search, the maximum number of records to return, whether the results are weighted, and whether wildcard characters can be used.

When you define the search types for the Records Details page of the MIDM, you must specify a query for each type you define. The queries you specify must already be defined in query.xml.
