You can use this property to limit indexing to the attribute configured in this file. • false—Index all eligible attribute values. • true—Limit attribute indexing to the attributes configured in SearchableAttributesByType.properties. | If you change this property value, you must re-index your search libraries. |
|
wt.index.enableXMLTagSearch
Default | false | In previous releases, the default behavior was to index all XML content and tags and allow specialized XML searches. With the introduction of this property, the default behavior has changed. |
|
Description | Determine how XML documents are indexed, and enable or disable XML tag searches. • false—Only index the XML document content (values between XML tags). Users can search for XML documents using keyword searches against the document content. • true—Index all XML content, including the XML tags and tag attributes. Users can perform specialized xml: searches that limit keyword searches to XML documents. These searches can be performed against the document content, XML tags, XML attributes, and attribute values. | If you enable XML tag searches, you must re-index previously indexed XML documents in order to include them in search results. |
