This chapter discusses record search, which is an Oracle Endeca
Server equivalent of full-text search, and is one of the fundamental building
blocks of Oracle Endeca Server search capabilities.
Record search overview
Record search allows a user to perform a keyword search against specific attribute values assigned to records.
Configuring attributes for record search
The first step in implementing basic record search is to configure a standard attribute for record searching using either the Configuration Web Service directly or Integrator (whose components use this service).
Enabling hierarchical record search
If you want to consider ancestor managed attribute values when matching a record search query, you can enable hierarchical record search.
