Advanced dimension search parameters give an application greater control over the matching dimension values returned. Standard dimension search returns all matching dimension values across all dimensions.
Advanced dimension search parameters enable the application to do the following:
Request only the first
n
dimension values for each dimension. An additional parameter enables you to page through any additional matching dimension values after displaying the first n dimension values.Restrict dimension search to searching within a given navigation state. The MDEX Engine returns only those matching dimension values that, when used to refine the specified navigation state, create a valid navigation request.
