Default Search Option

The default search algorithm for Item searches. The following choices are available:

Search Options	Definition and Example
Keyword	A Keyword search looks up each word individually. For example, if a Shopper searches for "Fast Big Bike" a keyword search will look up "Fast", "Big", and "Bike" individually and may produce results that have keywords "Big" and "Fast" but not "Bike".
Phrase	A Phrase search will look up exact matches of the submitted text. For example, if a Shopper searches for "Fast Big Bike" a phrase search will only display results that match the phrase "Fast Big Bike" and exclude results that do not contain the full phrase.
Full Text Relevance	A Full Text Relevance search looks for various combinations of all words submitted, and lists results based on a relevance ranking. For example, if a Shopper searches for "Fast Big Bike" a full text relevance search will display all results with the keywords in a phrase irregardless of the phrase's order. This will produce results such as "Big Fast Bike" or "Bike Big and Fast".
"Fuzzy"	A "Fuzzy" search will look for the search phrase being partly found, and lists results ranked by relevance. For example, if a Shopper searches for "Fast Big Bike" a "Fuzzy" search will display results that partially contain the keywords of the phrase. This will produce results such as "Biggest Fastest Motorbike" or "Ultrafast Big Snowbike".

Searches are case insensitive by design.

For example: If the maximum days is set to 150, and today is June 11th, then any quantity of any Item requested for shipment after November 8th will be automatically considered available to promise. 2ad54db2-2783-4891-a20d-15e9049dcc59
