By default, value search allows wildcards at the end of the search
term (such as
gua* for the search term
guarantee). To enable wildcards elsewhere in a search
term, you need to set the
mdex-config_EnableValueSearchWildcard attribute in the
Global Configuration Record (GCR) to
true, for the standard attribute in your records.
The following examples illustrate how
the Oracle Endeca Server treats wildcards in value searches:
- A wildcard search at the end
of the search term, such as
gua*, is conducted by the Oracle Endeca Server for all
standard attributes for which value search is enabled.
- Wildcard searches of type
*uara and
g*ara are conducted by the Oracle Endeca Server only
if the GCR attribute
mdex-config_EnableValueSearchWildcard is set to
true for the corresponding standard attribute on your
records. The default value for this attribute is
false, meaning that wildcard search is disabled for
value search.
