JR54247: MULTI-KEYWORD SEARCH MIGHT RETURN IRRELEVANT SEARCH SUGGESTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Collation results always return suggestions by OR-ing
  multi-keyword search terms. However, the suggestions are
  irrelevant when the searchType is set to 'All'.
  The 'Or' operator is used instead of 'And' operator for
  multi-keyword search phrases.

  empty search result page.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Added new search extended configuration property.
  
  <!--
  SpellCheckQueryOperator
  
  The operator used when setting the spellcheck.q value when
  multiple word phrases are used as search terms. Possible values
  are either OR, AND. Other values are ignored.
  
  When using a searchType value that maps to an AND operator in
  the main query, for example, 1002, you should typically set the
  SpellCheckQueryOperator value to AND.
  
  Note: Using the OR operator relaxes the conditions to find spell
   check corrections,while using AND will produce fewer or no
  spell check corrections.
  
  The default value is OR, if no value is set.

  <_config:property name="SpellCheckQueryOperator" value="AND" />
