Search Interface editor

You use the Search Interface editor to create a new search interface or modify the attributes of an existing one.

The Search Interface editor contains the following fields:

Option	Description
Name	A unique name for this search interface. Search interface names are case sensitive.
Allow cross-field matches	Specifies when the MDEX Engine should try to match search queries across dimension or property boundaries, but within the members of the search interface. There are three possible values: Always—the MDEX Engine always looks for matches across dimension or property boundaries, in addition to matches within a dimension or property. This is the default value. Never—the MDEX Engine does not look across boundaries for matches. On Failure—the MDEX Engine only tries to match queries across dimension or property boundaries if it fails to find any match within a single dimension or property.
