About value search

Value search allows users to perform keyword searches across attributes for values with matching names.

End users of applications powered by Endeca Server can search all types of attribute values, including values for standard and managed attributes. The front-end application can present these values to the end-user, allowing the user to select them and create a new navigation request.

Value search is enabled differently for attributes:

Standard attributes. You can make standard attributes of type string value searchable. To configure a set of standard attributes of type string whose values will be considered for search, modify the values of the IsPropertyValueSearchable attribute on the PDRs.
Managed attributes. All managed attributes are evaluated for value search by default, and you cannot disable value search for them.
