The task of configuring the add-on must be performed by a user with administrative privileges. As shown in the image below, basic configuration entails:
setting search criteria for a data model. This includes options such as search sensitivity and permissions. The criteria you specify applies to all tables included in this data model.
determining which tables users can search. Because of the model-driven configuration, you only need to setup a table one time. Users can run a search on the table regardless of its dataset location.
indicating the fields included in a search operation. This includes specifying the field, and search algorithm applied to queries on this field.
In addition to the previously mentioned options, you can also configure:
Synonyms used to return results when a query does not find an exact match.
Expose add-on functionality as a webservice.
Configure your own search algorithm.
Set values to be excluded from a search.
Set up search history.
