Prior to this release, one could only search for an by exact part number matches. This feature adds partial alternative part numbers to be included in searches.
Configure your search settings so that Alternative Part Numbers are included as default search fields within the General tab of the Site Manager > Catalog Configuration screen.
In order to ensure proper partial search results, ensure that your search method will handle partial text matches. For details see the
Site Manager >
Catalog Configuration screen for available search opitons.
Alternative part number data for items will also be returned from searches performed by the various versions of GetSearchResults operations in the
Inventory web service and can therefore be presented within the
Items_TileListing Widget, and as part of the data source used for the various listing controls.
