Exclude fields from text search

[Mathias Johans1]

Hi everyone!

I have found that when using Search Sources in portal (on tasks and knowledge base) and text search in platform that several fields are included in the search, e.g Assigned to etc. The consequense of this is that you can search for a name and a search result is presented based on this.

Is is possible to exclude fields on a table in Search Sources and Text search?

Hi Mathias,

You can add a dictionary attribute to the field to exclude it from being indexed as a result the field will not be searchable. Refer documentation for more details.

no_text_index

true/false

any field on a text indexed table

If a table is text indexed, the no_text_index attribute on a field prevents this field from being included in the text index.

Edit1: You have to regenerate the index for the changes to take effect.

Edit2: If you are on New York instance, Navigate to Text Index Configuration for kb_knowledge table, Add a record in Text Index Column Attribute Map (Related List). Choose No Text Index as the attribute name to disable indexing a field. Refer documentation for more details.

Rajesh

Hi,

I need to know the functional differences between v3 and v4 text indexing?

Thanks.
