Customizing Faceted Search
Modeled Attribute Visibility in Facets
By default all attributes that are searchable are considered for facets. List of searchable attributes is configured per type in searchableAttributesByType.properties file. If any attributes need to be hidden in facet then add a new entry in this file against 'facetSearch' key and remove the required attribute.
For instance, following is the entry for attributes of WTPart:
advancedSearch.wt.part.WTPart=thePersistInfo.createStamp,iterationInfo.creator,defaultUnit,lock.locker,search_name,search_number,ownership.owner,source,state.state,partType,thePersistInfo.modifyStamp,iterationInfo.modifier,view.id,organization.id,oemPreference,endItem,versionInfo.identifier.versionId,iterationInfo.identifier.iterationId,collapsible,interopInfo.iopState,defaultTraceCode,genericType
If you want to hide defaultUnit in facets then add a new entry as below excluding the defaultUnit attribute ID:
facetSearch.wt.part.WTPart=thePersistInfo.createStamp,iterationInfo.creator,lock.locker,search_name,search_number,ownership.owner,source,state.state,partType,thePersistInfo.modifyStamp,iterationInfo.modifier,view.id,organization.id,oemPreference,endItem,versionInfo.identifier.versionId,iterationInfo.identifier.iterationId,collapsible,interopInfo.iopState,defaultTraceCode,genericType
The entry is type specific. If any particular attribute is to be hidden for multiple types then multiple entries need to be added for applicable types.
