The customization of the SmartSearch is made using the Config.xml file which must be stored on an application server in the ..\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CAS-Software\Server\DotNetData\SmartSearch folder. If necessary, create the SmartSearch folder.
When searching in many data record types and many fields, the speed and matching rate of the SmartSearch hits can be affected.
A customized XML file is not changed if a software update is made.
The XML file must be available on all application servers on which the SmartSearch is set up and is to be customized. Then, the customized SmartSearch is available for all clients which log on to the respective application server.
The settings of the Config.xml file apply to all databases which are connected to an application server.
The settings of the Config_<Databasename>.xml file apply to a specific database. <Datenbankname> is the database name which was assigned by the Database Wizard.
The file coding must be UTF-8 without BOM.
After adapting the XML file, the corresponding services in the Server Manager must be terminated and newly restarted.
