Disabling Search on Text Fields or Unindexed Fields

The DisableSearch field user property prevents the user or the Siebel query engine from running a query on a field that is not indexed or that is a text field. The value for this user property must include one of the following values:

• TRUE. Disable wildcard search on the field. For example, if the user enters the following value, then Siebel CRM displays an error message:

  [Name] LIKE 'S*'

  Siebel CRM does allow an exact search. For example, it allows the following search:

  [Name] = 'Siebel'

• FALSE or this user property does not exist. Allow wildcard or exact match search.

Siebel CRM enforces this user property in the following situations:

• Query by example

• Query Assistant

• Search Center

• Query started in a programmatic or message interface

• Predefined query

You can configure Siebel CRM to deactivate this user property, modify the value for it, or if an instance of it is not already defined, then to create a new instance of it.
