Based on the query string entered by the end-user and the Search site’s configuration, ATG Search returns a response containing the results retrieved. The results can then be displayed in the user interface or subjected to further processing. The search results include:
The matching statement
The index item that contains that statement
Secondary information about the results, such as where they fall in the category taxonomy
Feedback about the query, such as spelling suggestions or refinements
Each document object contains the list of document sets and categories of which it is a member. This information includes the size of the document set, and for categories, the relevance of the document to that category.
