Enabling Keyword Search
To enable Keyword Search display when users access a component, you use the Component Mapping page in the Search Definition component for the Search Framework Designer. The Component Mapping page enables you to map a component to a specific search definition to enable search engine integration with Search Pages.
Note:
Search definitions mapped to a component use document level security. This is enforced by the Search Designer activity guide.
For components that have been added to the grid on the Component Mapping page for a search definition, the search page for that component displays the Search Framework search options. The keyword Search Framework feature enables the user to search deeper (level 0-3) by running a free-formed search against crawled and indexed values in the search engine. The keyword search is powerful because it allows you to search across all fields in an index rather than just inside a specific set of fields defined in the search record.
When the search definition is deployed, the system updates the component meta data to indicate the search category to which the component is mapped. When the system renders the page, it displays the keyword search page for that component.
Note:
Multiple components can be mapped to the same search definition.
To enable search pages for a component:
-
Select and open the desired search definition.
-
Select the Component Mapping tab.
-
Add the desired component to the grid.
-
Update the security restrictions and access appropriately.
-
Save the search definition.
-
Deploy or update the search definition to the search engine.
-
Navigate to the component and verify that you see the Keyword search page.
