Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	Used by the spell checker. Results that are above or equal to this number will trigger a spelling suggestion lookup.

COMMERCE/SEARCH/maximumSuggestionsPerWord

Value type	String
Default refresh strategy	`interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_1`
Default value	`3`
Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	Used by the spell checker. The maximum number of spelling suggestions to return.

COMMERCE/SEARCH/accuracy

Value type	String
Default refresh strategy	`interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_1`
Default value	`0.75`
Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	Sets the accuracy of spelling suggestions. This value works the same as COMMERCE/SEARCH/minimumSimilarity.

COMMERCE/SEARCH/boosts

Value type	Map
Default refresh strategy	`interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_1`
Default value	-
Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	A comma-separated list of field name/value pairs that attribute greater importance to values matched in specific fields. For example: "categoryCode=0.5,productCode=0.5,categoryName_en=2.0,description_en=0.2". By default, all fields have a boost value of 1.0.

COMMERCE/SEARCH/excludeAttributes

Value type	Collection
Default refresh strategy	`interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_1`
Default value	-
Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	Specifies a comma-separated list of attribute keys that should be not be included when searching all fields. For example: "A00981,A01012"

COMMERCE/SEARCH/indexOptimizationInterval

Value type	Integer
Default value	`720`
Context	If the setting is application-specific, the format is: `APPSPECIFIC/` appName `/` indexName where - appName is the application name (`RCP`) - indexName is the index name (`product`, `category`, `customer`, `order`, `orderreturn`, or `promotion`) If the setting is store-specific, the format is: `STORE/` storeCode `/` indexName where - storeCode is the store code - indexName is the index name (`product` or `category`) Note: The context is case-sensitive.
Description	Specifies how often (in minutes) the index specified in the context is optimized. Optimization is only required after an index is updated, so if the index is updated frequently, you may want to optimize more frequently by specifying a lower value. Note that the repeatInterval property of the optimizeSearchIndicesTrigger bean determines the smallest interval between index optimizations; if indexOptimizationInterval is less than repeatInterval, then the effective interval will be the repeatInterval. For more information, see the topic on Scheduled Jobs in the Deployment Guide.

Cache settings

COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_one

Value type	Integer
Default value	`300000`
Context	None. (System and cache settings are system-wide.)
Description	For each setting that is mapped to this cache, specifies the period of time (in milliseconds) during which the setting value is cached. At the end of the interval, the cached value is invalidated and the next time it is requested, the value is retrieved directly from the database and the cache is updated. The name of this setting can be used when specifying the refresh strategy for another setting. To assign a setting to this cache, set the value of that setting's apiRefreshStrategy metadata setting to interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_1. For more information, see the Configuration section of the Commerce Manager User Guide.

COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_two

Value type	Integer
Default value	`60000`
Context	None. (System and cache settings are system-wide.)
Description	For each setting that is mapped to this cache, specifies the period of time (in milliseconds) during which the setting value is cached. At the end of the interval, the cached value is invalidated and the next time it is requested, the value is retrieved directly from the database and the cache is updated. The name of this setting can be used when specifying the refresh strategy for another setting. To assign a setting to this cache, set the value of that setting's apiRefreshStrategy metadata setting to interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_2. For more information, see the Configuration section of the Commerce Manager User Guide.

COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_three

Value type	Integer
Default value	`100000`
Context	None. (System and cache settings are system-wide.)
Description	For each setting that is mapped to this cache, specifies the period of time (in milliseconds) during which the setting value is cached. At the end of the interval, the cached value is invalidated and the next time it is requested, the value is retrieved directly from the database and the cache is updated. The name of this setting can be used when specifying the refresh strategy for another setting. To assign a setting to this cache, set the value of that setting's apiRefreshStrategy metadata setting to interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_3. For more information, see the Configuration section of the Commerce Manager User Guide.

COMMERCE/SYSTEM/FILTEREDNAVIGATION/filteredNavigationConfiguration (cache settings)

Value type	String
Default refresh strategy	`interval:timeout=COMMERCE/Cache/Cache_2`
Default value	<!-- Configuration file for filtered navigation --><!-- For range values, lower bounds are inclusive, upper values are exclusive. --><IntelligentBrowsing></IntelligentBrowsing>
Context	None. (System and cache settings are system-wide.)
Description	The configuration XML for filtered (faceted) navigation.
