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).

The mdex-property_IsTextSearchable attribute of a PDR enables the attribute for record searching. The valid settings for this attribute are:
  • If set to true, the attribute is enabled for record search.
  • If set to false, the attribute is not enabled for record search. This is the default.

You can change the value for this attribute using the updateProperties operation of the Configuration Web Service. It is recommended to change this setting on a data domain that does not yet contain any source records. Running this operation on a data domain with a large number of existing records causes the Dgraph process to reindex the data domain and has performance impact.
