About breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs let you summarize any Guided Navigation selections, keyword searches, or range filters specified by the end user.

Breadcrumbs represent the following information that was passed to the navigation state by the Conversation Web Service response:

Selected refinement values that were used to query for the current record set.
Keyword searches that were used to query for the current record set.
Range filters that have been selected for the query.

Any standard or managed attribute value available in the index of the particular data domain can be selected as a breadcrumb.

Breadcrumbs honor EQL record filters (such as security filters), but do not display them.

Breadcrumbs can reflect spelling correction and DYM (Did You Mean) information returned by the Dgraph process of the Oracle Endeca Server in response to keyword search queries.

In Studio, the Selected Refinements component lets you display breadcrumbs made with navigation queries (when users select refinement values or range filters for navigation), and keyword search queries.

For example, here is how user selections made in the Available Refinements component are reflected in the Selected Refinements component:

When the user selects a refinement in the Available Refinements component, it is reflected as a breadcrumb in the Selected Refinements component.
The user can select an additional refinement in the Available Refinements component, thereby narrowing down the scope of the record set for the query.
Alternatively, the user can remove a refinement value from the Selected Refinements component, which increases the scope of the record set for the query.
