Hi Robert, thanks for your reply. is there any other way to search on custom properties? the problem is if i have hundreds of custom properties, manually adding all these in search option set is difficult. is there any setting where if i make the property as indexable , it will be searched by the TREX automatically.

thanks & regards

Hi Kranthi,

by standard search (term entered in the normal search input field) is executed on the properties:

Content, Description, Display Name

If your want to enlarge this set of properties you can specify 'Additional Search Properties' in your relevant Search Option Set (default UISearch).

There are two things to keep in mind:

1. Properties needs to be modelled and indexable

2. Performance is influenced slightly, because the enlarge search query

Hi Gnanadeva, You might have created a user before installation with name trex_instance_number. HOME_TREXUSR refers to the home directory of this user.

Hi Kranthi,

for this you have to modify the search option set used in the default search iview (pcd:/portal_content/every_user/general/eu_role/com.sap.km.home_ws/com.sap.km.hidden/com.sap.km.urlaccess/com.sap.km.basicsearch) . Or better, you create your own search iView using the default Search Component and your own Search Option Set.

To modify or to create a new set of search options choose System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration

-> Content Management -> User Interface -> Search -> Search Options Set.

The relevant parameter for you is "Allowed Predefined Properties". Add your own properties to the Search Options Set UISearch.

Check out this documention on deeper knowledge of customizing the search UI: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e6fdf113-0701-0010-d1ad-cc8...

Hope this helps,

Robert
