Features for controlling record search

You can control the various features related to record search either at indexing time or at run-time. This topic lists ways in which you can control record search behavior.

The following statements describe various aspects of record search behavior and how you can control it:

To control indexing behavior, you can use phrase search, wildcard search or other advanced features of record search. For more information, see sections about phrase search, wildcard search and sections about the advanced search capabilities.
To configure run-time record search behavior, you must create one or more search interfaces. For more information, see the section about search interfaces.
There are no Dgidx flags necessary to enable record search. If a property or dimension was properly enabled for record search, it will automatically be indexed for searching.
There are no MDEX Engine configuration flags necessary to enable record searching. If a property or dimension was properly enabled for record searching when indexing, it will automatically be available for record searching when index files are loaded into the MDEX Engine.
Multiple MDEX Engine configuration flags are available to manage different controls for record search, such as spelling support and relevance ranking. See specific feature sections for details.
