This section illustrates part of a sample application that performs record searches and dimension searches.
This application:
In this illustration of a sample front end application, a user has selected:
A search interface named "All", from a drop-down list in the property field under the heading misc_searchbox. Note that the selection made in the property field has no part in determining which dimension values are returned by the dimension search.
The match mode "All", from the drop-down list under the heading "match mode". The match mode applies to both the record search and the dimension search. For information about match modes, see Configuring matches for record searches.
The search term "canon", in the field under the heading "terms".
The matching dimension values returned by the dimension search are listed under the heading misc_dimsearch_results. These include:
The matching records returned by the record search are listed under
the heading "Matching Records: 5,684". For a record to be included in this
results list, the record must be tagged to a dimension value that matches the
search term or have a property value that matches the search term. For example,
Record 1412264 is included in the results list for a search on the keyword
"canon" because it is tagged to the dimension value
Canon in the dimension
product.brand.name.
In both types of search, matches are made according to the match mode that the user has selected. (In this example, the match mode makes no difference in the results, because the search term consists of a single word, and no partial matching can be performed.)
