<SearchType>

Defines the type of the indexing for this field and also the search algorithm that finds data in this field.

Options

  • exact

The data record is considered as hit if the search term matches the field value exactly.

This setting is useful for identification numbers and/or number, such as a customer number.

Only when combined with this search algorithm, fields with numerical data types can be used, for example, Integer, Decimal, Float.

  • largetext

This search algorithm is useful when searching in fields with long texts.

This can be used for notes

  • prefix

The beginning of a search term matches exactly the hit.

This can be useful for short character strings for fields of the varchar data type.

  • prefix_fuzzy

Using this parameter, a fuzzy search for contents of this field is used. This parameter is recommended for fields in which typing errors are to be ignored by the search.

For the standard configuration, name and first name for addresses as well as the subjects are indexed in this way.

<Boost>

The relevance of hits of this field is raised using this value. The higher the value, the higher the relevance.

1 is the default value.

Numbers between 1 and 2 are recommended, as decimal places with comma or points.
