Sorting products using deep search sequencing
Deep search sequencing refers to the process of ordering products within a
category and all its subcategories. This process is used to enhance the storefront by using
Category-based browsing flows that customers can use to browse products.
About this task
This task enables deep search sequencing by sorting by both category sequence and
product sequence. This is done by setting the EnableDeepProductSequence
value to
true
in the catalog component configuration files on both the HCL Commerce and Search EAR files.
Alternatively, if you want to enable sorting only by product
sequence, instead set the EnableDeepProductSequence
value to false
in the catalog component configuration files on both the HCL Commerce and Search
EAR files.
Procedure
-
Configure the search properties in the search component configuration file
(wc-component.xml) .

- Liberty_SearchServer_Dir/resources/search/runtime/config/com.ibm.commerce.search/wc-component.xml
- The default search component configuration file for the search application.
- workspace_dir/search-config-ext/src/runtime/config/com.ibm.commerce.search/wc-component.xml
- The extended search component configuration file for the search application.
