Advanced Text Search
This step configures a text search comparison within the DataAssist Search server behavior based on selecting Advanced Text Search when adding a search comparison in step 2 of the DataAssist Search Wizard: Define your DataAssist Search.
Text-based database columns are searched against using a text comparison specified through a form element. The results returned depend on whether the selected column in a given record includes the text parameter specified.
Note: The comparisons configured using this wizard are designed for standard implementations. Advanced search configurations can be achieved by either editing the application of the DataAssist Search server behavior applied to your results page by this wizard, or by applying this server behavior directly to your results page.
