Disable the Display of Search Results with Similar Spellings

By default the application displays records with similar spellings in the different work area search results. For example, if you are searching for accounts using the word software, then the application first displays the account names that contain that word, such as Compucon Software and Forte Software Inc, followed by names with similar spellings, such as Softgear Inc. You can disable the display of results with similar spellings in work area searches by setting the system profile option Include Similar Results in Searches to No.

Note: The application displays similar spellings in search results only if you are using the default contains search operator. If you set the system profile option Use Starts With Operator (ZCA_LM_FIND_USE_STARTSWITH) to Yes, then similar spellings are never shown in search results regardless of the setting of the system profile option Include Similar Results in Searches.

To disable the display of similar spellings in search results, do the following:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area, and use the following:

   • Offering: Sales

   • Functional Area: Sales Foundation

   • Task: Manage Administrator Profile Values

2. In the Search: Profile Option region, Profile Display Name field, enter Include Similar Results in Searches.

3. Click Search.

   The application displays the profile option information.

4. In the ZCA_LM_FUZZY_SEARCH: Profile Values section, select No from the Profile Value list.

5. Click Save and Close.
