Search

The page provides user-specific settings influencing Valuemation search functionality.

Catalog Search

• Case-sensitivity switches

  The following two settings influence case sensitivity of queries created in the Complex and Simple Search views and column filters. The settings do not influence existing queries.

  • Initial State

    The default initial state of the case sensitivity buttons in Simple Search, Complex Search, Quick Search, column filters and Reference Views.

  • Visible

    If selected, a case sensitivity button is provided for each text search field in the Simple Search view. This way case sensitivity can be specified for each individual field.
    If clear, the case sensitivity buttons are not provided for individual fields. Case sensitivity of the catalog query is indicated and can be changed by the global case sensitivity switch in the bottom left corner of the catalog.

• Default String Operator

  The setting specifies which operator is used by default in search fields for string attributes. Available options are 'equals', 'like' and 'starts with'.

• Use operator Contains when full-text index exists

  This setting extends the setting above. If full text index exists for a particular string attribute, search operator 'Contains' may be the right search option.

  Set 'Use operator Contains when full-text index exists' to True to make operator 'Contains' the default operator for string attributes with full text index.

  For example, attribute 'Ticket No' is - despite its name - a string attribute for which full text index exists. With the above described setting set to True, the default search operator for 'Ticket No' will be the 'Contains' operator.

• Maximum count of Quick Search attributes

  Allows you to set the maximum count of attributes which the Quick Search is searching in.

  Please see also the Quick Search settings in the Catalog Customizer.

• Show Catalog Query Selector

  If selected, a combo box for storing and recalling search queries is available in the search views. See the 'Catalog Query Selector' topic for details.

• Apply reset immediately in Field and Expert Search

  The setting influences the behaviour of the 'Reset' button in Field and Expert search. If selected, a new empty condition is used and the catalog is refreshed (the catalog data are reloaded) immediately after you click the 'Reset' button. If cleared, only the condition is deleted after you click the 'Reset' button - the filtered content below in the catalog will be preserved until you run a new search.

• Apply condition when query is changed

  The setting applies to Column search only. If selected, any change in the condition is applied to the catalog data immediately and automatically. If cleared, a change in the condition is applied only after you start the 'Search' action.

The above listed settings override corresponding settings specified globally in the 'Search' page of Global Settings. Global Settings provide additional search-related settings specifiable only globally.
