Restricting value search to specific attributes

You can use the RestrictToProperties attribute to limit the number of returned results to a list of one or more specified attributes. You can also use the MaxPerProperty attribute to help control the results returned from the corpus. Without these controls, the size of the resulting response from the Conversation Web Service could cause slow response times between your front-end application and Endeca Server.

If a managed attribute is searched, you can use RestrictToProperties to search within a whole managed attribute and its entire hierarchy of values, but you cannot restrict value search to a subtree within a particular root value in the hierarchy.

<ValueSearchConfig
   ...
   <RestrictToProperties>
      <Property>ProductCategory</Property>
      <Property>BikeRacks</Property>
   </RestrictToProperties>
</ValueSearchConfig>
