Search Configuration

The search functionality allows users to query a datasource via the search widget in the HxGN Smart Sites client application.

note

The search button will only appear in the client application when at least one publication with a searchable datasource is loaded.

To activate the search feature, check the Enable search option.

Result Display Property​

This setting defines the property of the datasource that will be used for displaying the search results.

Example: If you select the name field, when a user searches for countries, the countries name will be shown in the results.

Searchable Properties​

Searchable properties define which properties will be queried for the search value. A search will return results that match any of the selected properties.

Example: If both name and capital are selected as searchable properties, users can search for a country by either its name or its capital city.

note

Only text-based properties are listed in the dropdown for both display and searchable properties.
