Use the Search Configuration Details output type to view whether a search configuration is applied to a search, and if so, which one and why.

When you test a search configuration, you have two options:

The following sections describe what information is displayed in the search configuration details output for each option.

Output for a Search Configuration Selected Directly

If you select a search configuration directly in the search test inputs, the search configuration details output shows you the configuration you selected and the dimension values associated with it.

Click the name of the search configuration to open it for editing in the Details pane. After you make any edits and save your changes, return to Search Testing by clicking Test Search or by selecting a search test from the Navigation pane.

Output for a Search Configuration Selected by Dimensions

If you choose the search configuration based on dimension values, the search configuration details output shows you the dimensions you selected and how Merchandising navigates the search configuration tree to determine which configuration to apply, if any. If you choose a preview profile as a source for the dimensions, the name of the profile is also displayed.

The Search Configuration Processing table shows the path taken through the search configuration tree and whether the dimension of each folder or configuration matched a dimension from the search test, as shown in the figure above. Use this information to test the structure of your search configuration tree. For more information, see Structuring the Search Configuration Tree in the ATG Merchandising Administration Guide.

If a search configuration matches your selected dimensions, it appears in the Search Configurations Used field. Click the name of the configuration to open it in the Details pane. You can return to Search Testing by clicking Test Search or by selecting a search test from the Navigation pane.
