While a basic dimension search can be executed with a single parameter, an advanced dimension search query can have many different modifiers to control the resulting dimension values returned. This section contains examples of using these parameters.

As a rule of thumb, for any dimension that could contain more than 100 possible results, use one of the more advanced dimension search parameters to help control the results returned from the MDEX Engine. Without these controls, the size of the resulting object could cause slow response times between an application and the MDEX Engine.
