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)

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

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.
