Configuring search modes in the API

In the Conversation Web Service, the SearchMode simple type enumerates the search modes available when performing a text search.

You can specify a specific type of search mode as a value of the Mode attribute in the SearchFilter element of your request, and in the ValueSearchConfig element.

The following example uses the AllPartial search mode in SearchFilter:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
   xmlns:ns="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/conversation/2/0" 
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns:typ="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/lql_parser/types">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <ns:Request>
      <ns:State/>
      <ns:Operator xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:ns="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/conversation/2/0" 
        xsi:type="ns:SearchOperator">
        <ns:SearchFilter Mode="AllPartial" Key="MySearchInterface">mountain</ns:SearchFilter>
      </ns:Operator>
      <ns:ContentElementConfig xsi:type="ns:RecordListConfig"
          Id="RecordList"
          HandlerFunction="RecordListHandler"
          HandlerNamespace="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/conversation/2/0" 
          MaxPages="2">
          <ns:Column>ProductCategory</ns:Column>
          <ns:RecordsPerPage>50</ns:RecordsPerPage>
          <ns:Page>15</ns:Page>
          <ns:Sort Key="ProductCategory" Direction="Ascending"/>
          </ns:ContentElementConfig>
    </ns:Request>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
