Use the name of the search interface as the value for the
Ntk
parameter, just as you would use a normal property or
dimension.
No additional MDEX Engine URL query parameters are required to perform a record search using a search interface.
By default, using a search interface in a search performs a logical
OR
on the properties/dimensions in the interface.
For example, if a data set contains both an
Actor
property and
Director
dimension, a search interface can provide
the user the ability to search for a person’s name in both.
In this example, a search on the
MoviePeople
search interface returns records that
match the
Actor
property OR the
Director
property.
The following two queries are not equivalent:
Ntk=actor|director&Ntt=deniro|deniro Ntk=moviepeople&Ntt=deniro
Note
The
Nrk
URL parameter also requires a search interface.
