ATG Search - how to define the search configuration rules

ATG Search configuration rules are specified through the ATG BCC Merchandising UI. Over here you could specify the below set of rules
  1. Redirection rules --> If you want to redirect to another page other than the search result page for a search keyword
  2. Property Prioritization rules  --> Prioritize certain set of properties and give weightage
  3. Result exclusion rules  --> Exclude certain search results
  4. Result positioning rules  --> Position / Sort the search result data




1.  To create the search configuration tree, you need to log-in to the ATG BCC Merchandising UI and select the Search Configuration Tree in the Browse tab drop down. Now need to click the Create button and first you need to create the Search Configuration Folder.


2.  When you create the folder, give the name of the folder and select whether the contents vary by Language or Segment. If your ecommerce site need to support more than one language and you need to configure different locale specific rules, please select the contents vary by Language option.


3.  After you create the folder, you could click the create the Search Configuration button and specify the Name and the Locale. These locale values are populated in the drop down from the component /atg/search/config/LanguageDimensionService



4. Once you create the Search Configuration,  you can add different rules like Redirection, Result Exclusion,...


Below you could find the screen shot of a sample Result Exclusion rule for the searches with search keyword contains all of the words baby.


Below you could find the screen shot of a sample Result Positioning rule for the searches with search keyword contains all of the words tv.

    Sorry, I don't have the Search set up now. The result positioning is pretty straight forward and all the matching results will be positioned at the top. If you have any specific queries, please ask.

    ATG out of box SearchFormHandler and droplets have an autoRedirect property that specifies whether the form handler should check the search results for a redirect URL or not. Check this

    How do I add another keyword that associates with the same one for example "Sharkbite" pull up search results but when entered in "shark bite" separately no results found. I would like to know how to add a word differentiation and make it live.

    If you want to get the results of some other word, you can use the dictionary and give some synonyms. Also give "mode=AND" in the request attributes.

ATG Order update - InvalidVersionException and ConcurrentUpdateException

ATG repository item descriptor can have the version property. The atg.adapter.gsa.ItemTransactionState holds this version information. For example consider the Order item-descriptor. It has the version property defined against the table dcspp_order. Means, the dcspp_order table has the column version which defines which version of order is currently in the DB. Each order update flow will update this column.  <property name="version" display-name-resource="version" data-type="int" queryable="true" readable="true" column-name="version" hidden="false" category-resource="categoryInfo" expert="true" required="false" cache-mode="inherit" writable="true">     <attribute name="uiwritable" value="false"/>     <attribute name="propertySortPriority" value="30"/>   </property> ------------------------------- Du...
