Display-only properties

When you map search criteria in a cross-repository search, you can add display-only properties (non-searchable properties) to your mapping. A display-only property displays information in a column for your search results without affecting the search criteria that you are using to run the search.

If all of the properties that you map are display-only (), the entire mapping is display-only. For example, if you are running a search on a repository that supports and has text search criteria enabled, and you include a display-only mapping, you obtain search results only for the text search criteria. The display-only properties only display information about those text search results in columns in the search results.

If your mapping includes both display-only and searchable properties, the search criteria for the mapping is run only in repositories where the searchable properties are valid.

Display-only properties do not affect the data type or the available search operators of the resulting mapping.
