Enabling or disabling full text search and typeahead search on an attribute

Each String attribute can be individually enabled or disabled for full text and typeahead search. By default, String attributes that are longer than approximately 200 characters are enabled for full text search and disabled for typeahead search, while attributes shorter than 200 characters are enabled for typeahead search and disabled for full text search.

Note: You can also use the "--disableSearch" command of the Data Processing CLI to globally disable search for all string attributes. This command disables both full text search and value search. This global command can be useful in cases where you have a large number of attributes in a project data set, and it is easier to disable all of them using the Data Processing CLI and then enable just a couple of them using Studio. For additional information, see "Record and value search settings for string attributes" in the Data Processing Guide.

To enable or disable full text search and typeahead search for an attribute:

  1. In your project, select Transform.
  2. Locate the String attribute that has text you want to be available for full text search.
  3. Mouse over the attribute column header.
    A menu button appears.
  4. Click the menu and select Edit Details.
    The Quick Look dialog opens.
  5. To enable or disable typeahead search, select the corresponding Typeahead search option.
    This adds a transformation step to the transform script. If you wish to undo your selection before committing, remove the step from the script.
  6. To enable or disable full text search, select the corresponding Full text search option.
    This adds a transformation step to the transform script. If you wish to undo your selection before committing, remove the step from the script.
  7. Click Done.
  8. To apply changes immediately, expand the Transform Script pane and click Commit to Project.

After the script completes, the attribute is enabled or disabled for full text search and typeahead search.
