Search runtime |
- BackCompatibleKeywordSearch
- This configuration defines whether to use new relevancy keyword search function or use previous
keyword search function. The default value is false.

- The default value is true.
Note: Disabling this configuration also disables language fallback
support.
- LimitDeepCategoryFacetValuesToImmediateChildrenOnly
- When expanded category navigation is used, the category facets display a list of facet values of
all immediate and not immediate child categories. When this configuration is set, the returned
category facet values are limited to the immediate ones only of the selected category.

performed. The behavior can be overriden locally by reversing the property in the
-ext directory.
- The default value is false.
In support of the deep category unpublish and deep search sequencing
features, the following parameters can be used. For more information, see Hiding categories and products using deep category unpublish. Note: Interim fixes for Feature

- 2: Detailed: Includes marketing rules, index status, and query explanations.
- The default value is 1.
- SearchProfilesStatistics
- Requests the search server to capture search-related statistics in the WebSphere Commerce
runtime.
- When this option is enabled, statistical data is cached in memory until the batch size (defined
as
SearchStatisticsBatchInsertSize in the wc-component.xml
file under ExtendedConfiguration ) is reached.
- This capture is done to minimize the amount of I/O traffic that is caused as a result of search
statistics gathering.
- The default value is false.
|
Inventory search index configurations |

- The formula for retrieving inventory count by physical store by using the single-value indexing
design.
- 1: Online store internal identifier.
- 2: Physical store internal identifier.
- 3: Range filter
[%s TO %s] .
- The default value is
inv_strlocqty_%s_%s:%s .Note: This function can be used for
only single-value options on the inventory index.
- OnlinePhysicalStoreQualifier
- A static identifier for an online store that represents a virtual physical store field name in
the search index. No actual physical store is associated to an online store.
Note: This property is
only needed when the DOM inventory model is used.
- The default value is
OnlineStore .
- ConvertPhysicalStoreToFulfillmentCenter
- This flag controls whether the identifier passed in through
_wcf.search.store
is a store location identifier and is converted into a fulfillment center identifier to be used with
the inventory search index.
- For example, set this option to
true when used with the non-ATP inventory
model, or set this option to false when used with the DOM inventory model.
- The default value is true.
- IsStoreInventorySharingConfigured
- This flag controls whether the non-ATP extended sites inventory is being shared or not.
- When set to
false , the extended site store ID is used to construct the
inventory field
- When set to
true , the configured RELATEDSTORE_ID set in the
STOREREL with STRELTYP
com.ibm.commerce.inventory is instead used.
- For example, set this option to
true when non-ATP inventory sharing is enabled,
or set this option to false when it is disabled.
- The default value is false.
Note: This parameter requires APAR
JR49630.
|
Spell correction |
- SpellCheckAccuracy
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter, spellcheck.accuracy.
- This parameter defines an accuracy value to be used by the spell checking implementation to
decide whether a result is worthwhile or not.
- This is a precision that must be achieved for the suggestion to be counted as proper one.
- The default value is the value of Float.MIN_VALUE.
- SpellCheckMaxResultsForSuggestion
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter,
spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest.
- This parameter defines the maximum number of results the query can return while still triggering
spelling suggestions (and collations, if you use
spellcheck.collate ).
- Suggestions are not generated if the query returns more results than this value.
- When you use
spellcheck.extendedResults , this value is also the threshold for
determining whether the correctlySpelled flag is false.
- If
spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest is not specified, the default behavior is to
generate suggestions and to report correctlySpelled as false, if at least 1 term is not in the
index, regardless of the number of results returned.
- This parameter is especially useful with spellcheck.alternativeTermCount to generate
Did You mean?-style suggestions for low hit-count queries.
- SpellCheckAlternativeTermCount
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter,
spellcheck.alternativeTermCount.
- This parameter defines the maximum number of suggestions to return for terms that exist in the
index. Specifying this parameter instructs the spellchecker to try to make suggestions for every
term in the query.
- This parameter differs from the spellcheck.onlyMorePopular option in that suggested terms do not
need to be more popular.
- SpellCheckOnlyMorePopular
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter, spellcheck.onlyMorePopular.
- This parameter returns only the suggestions that result in more hits for the query than the
existing query.
Note: Even if the query term is correct, a more popular suggestion is returned (if
one exists).
- SpellCheckMaxCollations
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter, spellcheck.maxCollations.
- This parameter defines the maximum number of collations to return.
- The default value is 1.
- SpellCheckMaxCollationTries
- This setting is used for Defines the Solr spellcheck parameter,
spellcheck.maxCollationTries.
- This parameter defines the maximum number of collation possibilities to try before giving up.
Lower values ensure better performance. Higher values might be necessary to find a collation that
can return results.
- The default value is 0 (do not check collations).
- SpellCheckCollatedResultsOnly
- When set, only spell corrections that are originated by the collation query are returned in the
REST response. Otherwise, both collation query suggestions and none collation query suggestions are
returned. Collation query suggestions do take into account filter queries and guarantee that
collations return results if rerun by the client.
- The default value is false.
- SpellCheckQueryOperator
- The operator used when setting the spellcheck.q value when multiple word phrases are used as
search terms. Possible values are either OR, AND. Other values are ignored. When using a searchType
value that maps to an AND operator in the main query, for example, 1002, you should typically set
the SpellCheckQueryOperator value to AND.
Note: Using the OR operator relaxes the conditions to
find spell check corrections, while using AND will produce fewer or no spell check
corrections. The default value is OR, if no value is set.

Relevancy |
- MaximumSlop
- Limits the maximum distance between the location of words that appear in the documents to 100
words, so that the document is boosted as more relevant.
- The default value is 100.
- MinimumMatch
- Describes the search relevancy rules. A number denotes the number of query keywords to match. A
number that is formulated with a percentage denotes that a percentage of the query keywords must
match. For example:
1 denotes that at least one query keyword must match.
2<80% 6<50% denotes that when there are fewer than 3 keywords, both of
the keywords must be found in the document. When there are 3 - 6 keywords, 80% of the keywords must
be found in the document. When there are more than 6 keywords, 50% of the keywords must be found in
the document.For example, if a shopper searches for 3 keywords, 80% of the 3 keywords equals 2.4.
Rounded down, results that match at least 2 of the 3 entered keywords are returned.
- For more information, see Minimum Number Specification Format.
- The default value is 1.
Note: The MaximumSlop and MinimumMatch parameters are
retrieved in the following order:
- Check whether they are defined in the URL.
- Check at the search profile level in the wc-search.xml file.
- Check at the parameter level in this file.
- TieBreaker
- This value is a constant for the tie breaker parameter that is used by the dismax query parser.
Valid values are between 0.0 and 1.0.
- A value of 0 makes the search engine use the score of the field with the maximum score and
ignore the scores from all other fields.
- A value of 0.1 and above, scores from all matching fields are considered when calculating the
document's final relevancy score.
- The default value is 0.
- The default value is
0.1
- categoryBasedSearchRelevancyBoostFactor
- This boost factor is applied to boost a category that contains the shopper’s search term in its
keyword field in the Management Center. This parameter only applies when business users specify
boost factors.
|
Suggestions |
- LimitKeywordSuggestionsToStoreAndCatalog
- Controls whether the suggested keywords are limited to the specified store and catalog (store
path enabled), or suggested keywords are originated from the master catalog.
- When set to true, a
wc-conditionalCopyFieldChain custom copyField function that
is defined in the CatalogEntry solrconfig.xml file is used to conditionally
copy fields. The fields are copied into a dynamic spellCheck field that consists of store and
catalog IDs, and includes only the content where the specified conditions are met.
- When set to false, you must update the CatalogEntry schema.xml file and
uncomment the copyField statement from the spellCorrection field to the default spellCheck field.
Then, the wc-conditionalCopyFieldChain can be disabled by either commenting out the
wc-conditionalCopyFieldChain, or set its enabled property to false.
- For example,
spellCheck_10152_10051 , where 10152 is the store ID, and 10051 is
a sales catalog.
- The default value is true.
- SearchBasedKeywordSuggestions
- When set, keyword suggestions that are returned by the keywordSuggestionsByTerm siteContent REST
API are based on keyword searches by using the search query component. The
IBM_findNavigationSuggestion_Keywords search profile is used to construct the query. Otherwise, the
default TermsComponent is used. Suggestion based on search queries can take into account different
filters such as store, catalog, entitlement, and catalog entry type. In contrast, suggestions by the
TermsComponent are generated from all of the indexed documents.
- More properties that are evaluated when set to
true are
SearchBasedKeywordSuggestionsMaxShingleSize and SearchBasedKeywordSuggestionsSortByFrequency.
- The default value is false.
1 |
Pricing |
- MultipleContracts
- Defines the operation between multiple contracts.
- If the operation is AND, the expression among multiple contracts is wrapped with
+ .
- Otherwise, multiple expressions are wrapped with a space.
- The default value is an OR operation.
|
Search rules |
- CombineFilterRuleWithProductSequencing
- This configuration defines whether to allow search rules with filtering conditions to work with
product sequencing during category navigation.
- When enabled, search rules for all keywords can be used for category navigation and products
that are returned are ordered according to their sequence defined at that category.
- The default value is false.
- Limitation: Because sorting overrides ranking at runtime, search
rules with boosting and relevancy ranking criteria are ignored. Only search rules with filtering
conditions can be used with product sequencing.
Note: To trigger search rules for all keywords
during category navigation, a search term with * are added to the browse query
request.
|
LocalTransactionCache |
The local transaction cache holds cache entries in memory during a single
database transaction.
- enabled
- Enables local transaction caching. Specify false to turn off the feature.
- Do not turn off local transaction caching, except as part of problem determination.
Note: Never
turn off local transaction caching without also turning off cross transaction caching.
- maxSize
- The maximum number of cache entries that can be remembered during a transaction.
- Each cache entry remains in memory until the current transaction completes. A long running
transaction that creates too many cache entries can run out of memory.
- When the specified limit is reached, the transaction cache stops creating cache entries for the
remainder of the current transaction. This setting prevents an out of memory condition.
- maxInvalidationldsPerTransaction
- The maximum number of cache invalidation operations that can be run in a single
transaction.
- Knowledge of each invalidation operation that is executed must be retained during the current
transaction. A long running transaction that executes too many invalidation operations can run out
of memory.
- When the specified limit is reached, the entire transaction cache is cleared and knowledge of
individual invalidation operations is removed from memory. This setting prevents an out of memory
condition. Use of the cross transaction cache is suspended for the remainder of the transaction. All
cache entries are considered to be invalidated for the remainder of the transaction.
