Search Results Sorting Options

Fast sorting for the search results is controlled by a property in emxSystem.properties, the user's pagination setting, and the sort definitions in config.xml.

For fastsort to be used in search results, both of these conditions must be met:


  • The result count must exceed the threshold set in emxSystem.properties:
    emxFramework.FullTextSearch.FastSortThreshold=1000
  • The column selected for sorting must have fastsort=true defined on that field in config.xml.

If the user has enabled pagination, then fast sort is only used for the specific page. If pagination is disabled, fast sort is executed over the entire result set.

See the ENOVIA Full-text Search Server with Exalead Installation Guide for details on the config.xml.
