Enabling or disabling full text search for an attribute
You can configure String attributes in a project to allow full text search capabilities. Each attribute can be individually enabled or disabled for full text search. You configure this option by adding a transformation step in the Transform page. By default, String attributes that are longer than approximately 200 characters are enabled for full text search.
Enabling or disabling typeahead search for an attribute
You can configure String attributes in a project to allow for typeahead search. This means that as you type a keyword in the Search box, Studio provides typeahead options based on attribute values in the data set. Each attribute can be individually enabled or disabled. You configure this option by adding a transformation step in the Transform page. By default, String attributes that are longer than approximately 200 characters are disabled for typeahead search and attributes shorter than approximately 200 characters are enabled.
