The process of searching for object text begins with the submission of a CBR query and ends with the return of the search results. A CBR query includes a CONTAINS function call to perform a full-text search.
The following table shows the high-level steps involved in searching for an object:
Step | Description | Related information | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | CBR query submission | An application, such as the administration console, submits a CBR query to Content Platform Engine. A CBR query, by definition, includes a full-text search expression. | For information about CBR queries, see CBR query syntax introduction. For information about submitting a CBR query from the administration console, see Submitting a CBR query. |
2 | Full-text search submission | Content Platform Engine submits the full-text search expression to a IBM® Content Search Services search server. | For information about accessing the following properties in
the administration console, see Accessing subsystem configuration properties:
|
3 | Word stem functional inclusion | The search server identifies the stems for the terms in the full-text search expression and functionally includes the stems in the expression. | For more information about word stems, see Token searches: Language-aware versus exact-match. |
4 | Synonym functional inclusion | The search server identifies any synonyms for the terms in the full-text search expression and functionally includes the synonyms in the expression. | For more information about synonyms, see Synonyms. For information about defining synonyms, see Setting synonyms for full-text searches. |
5 | Stop word exclusion | The search server identifies any stop words in the full-text search expression and removes them from the expression. | For more information about stop words, see Stop words. For information about defining stop words, see Setting stop words for full-text searches. |
6 | Search result determination | The search server reads the appropriate indexes to run the full-text search. The search results are passed back to the text search subsystem dispatcher. | |
7 | CBR query result determination | Content Platform Engine joins the full-text search results with other tables in the CBR query and runs the query. | For information about the relationship between the CBR query and the full-text search expression, see CBR Queries. |
