searchstate:addrichtextconstraint

Adds a constraint based on an index name and rich-text expression to a searchstate.

Syntax

<searchstate:addrichtextconstraint 
      name="ssname" 
      [bucket="bucketname"]
      [typename="assettype"]
      attribute="attribname"
      value="criteria"
      [parser="parsername"]
      confidence="minlevel"
      [maxcount="number"]/> 

Note This tag requires that the attribute was created as indexed.

Parameters

name (required)

Input parameter. Name of an object representing a searchstate.

bucket (optional)

Input parameter. Bucket name. If not specified, the attribute name is used. Use this parameter to indicate which constraint you need when the same attribute is used in multiple contstraints. A bucket is an alias and functions similar to an inner join in SQL; when you have multiple tables that have columns of the same name, you must specify the table name to indicate which column you are requesting.

typename (optional)

Input parameter. Internal asset type name for the attribute (either CAttributes for content attribute, or PAttributes for product attribute). If you do not specify TYPENAME, a default value is picked up from a property in the gator.ini property file: mwb.defaultattributes. The default value is set to be PAttributes and may be changed to be the name of any custom attribute asset types you create.

attribute (required)

Input parameter. Name of the attribute to constrain. This attribute must be created as indexed.

value (required)

Input parameter. Rich-text search criteria, which should apply to the attribute.

parser (optional)

Input parameter. Search-engine-dependent rich text parser to use.

confidence (required)

Input parameter. Minimum confidence level for the match. The range of this value is from 0.0 to 1.

maxcount (optional)

Input parameter. Maximum number of answers desired for the match. If this parameter is not specified, the number of results is limited only by the confidence and the number of products.

Description

The searchstate described by the name parameter is updated to add this rich-text search criteria. If the attribute name is already mentioned as part of a rich-text constraint in the searchstate, then the existing constraint is removed first.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value	Description
-10004	A required parameter is missing.
-13050	General error.
-13104	No index for attribute or search engine indexed attribute is missing its indices.

Example

This code creates an empty searchstate and adds a richtext constraint. The constraint sets a rich-text search expression on the attribute being searched on. The constraint of .LU. will work with the Verity search engine to match any string having LU between two other characters. In general, the form of the value attribute depends on the search engine used to index the specified attribute.
The typename parameter is not specified and the default attribute type set in gator.ini is picked up. Any assets with matching values for this attribute will be returned. This code then sets this searchstate into an assetset:setsearchedassets tag to constrain the assetset to be used when searching with other assetset tags. The last assetset tag uses this constrained assetset to search for matching assets and fetch a list of actual values for the attribute of the returned assets:

<searchstate:create name="ss" />
<searchstate:addrichtextconstraint name="ss" attribute="productdesc" value=".LU." confidence="0.001"/>
<assetset:setsearchedassets name="as" constraint="ss" assettypes="Products"/>
<assetset:getattributevalues name="as" attribute="productdesc" listvarname="resultlist"/>
<ics:listloop listname="resultlist">
<ics:listget listname="resultlist" fieldname="value"/><br/>
</ics:listloop>
