Testing Filter Settings

The Filter Settings group box enables you to search specific values of your attributes using the available operators.

This group box can be automatically loaded with all valid filters for the selected search category by selecting the Search Fields button.

If you have multiple attributes in the grid, use Match Any to return results that match any of the filters, and use Match All to display results that meet the criteria for all of the filters.

You can also enter a score for an attribute in order to boost the score of the attribute, which works in conjunction with the score operation option.

The following score operations can be used:

• Average - the averaged score is used.

• Maximum - the maximum score is used.

• Minimum - the minimum score is used.

• Sum - the scores are added.

Note:

The operators displayed for testing filter settings on the Search Test page represent all possible operators that can be utilized by way of the delivered PeopleCode API. However, depending on the application’s usage of the PeopleCode API and the data type of the field itself, end users will see varying display of the possible operators when defining search criteria. For example, Equal To applies only to number data types, while Contains Phrase applies only to character data types, and the appearance of the Between operator depends on the application’s usage of the delivered PeopleCode. Refer to the PeopleSoft Search Framework PeopleCode documentation for more information.
