View |
Click to view the underlying query or connected query in either Query Manager or Connected Query Manager, respectively.

Select the field specified in the query that determines the underlying record's update date and time. For example, LASTUPDDTTM. |
URL Link |
Select the query field containing the drilling URL defined for the query. |
Image URL |
Select the Drilling URL pointing to the image field, as defined in the drilling URL properties for the query. This field appears only if an image URL has been associated with the query. |
Title |
Define the title of the search result document. This is the bold, first line of the search result. Both Title and Summary should be granulated enough to be unique (that is, no duplicates among different documents). You can add text and bind variables to the title by clicking the *Title button. You cannot add text to the edit box directly. |
Summary |
Define the summary, or body, of the search result text. This is the text that appears below the title in a search result document. You can add text and bind variables to the summary by clicking the *Summary button. You cannot add text to the edit box directly. |
Save As |
Click to clone the search definition. In the subsequent page, you need to enter a name for the cloned search definition. When you clone a search definition, all the meta-data associated with the existing search definition is saved in the cloned search definition. Note: The Save As button is not available when you create or define a new search definition. |
In the Title\Summary dialog box you can insert custom text and bind variables, or a combination of the text and bind variables to accurately express the content of the search result document.
